Spoiler:

Where do lost books go?

The Babylonian texts thrown in the Tigris by the Mongol invaders of Baghdad. The sequel to Gogol’s Dead Souls burned to ashes by its own creator. The original edition of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom misplaced by T.E. Lawrence in a train station. Are these books destroyed forever in those moments? Or does a piece of them live on?

By day, Darius is a struggling ad writer. One night, he slips into a hitherto undiscovered world where a small group of determined guardians preserve lost books. As he explores this new world, he learns the techniques used for gathering and preserving the lost manuscripts.

But all is not well. Darius’ arrival has set in motion a series of events that threatens to bring down the entire world. If Darius hopes to preserve the Library and all it contains, he must reach within himself to find the strength to face the greatest threat this world has ever known.

Where do lost books go? They go to the Library of Lost Books.

Well that was interesting. I was intrigued by the beginning and kept reading to find out where it was going. It was an adventure, but different than any I had read before. At first, I was caught up in the descriptions and moving forward, but later in the book, I found I started to flip pages to just find out was it was all about. Maybe, this is just not a story for me and others would love it. The writing and descriptions were great and fleshed out characters and setting along with the story, but maybe it was too much description for me? I am not sure why I didn't really like this.
