What a fabulous way to end a fantastic series. The Great Library is among the best, most consistently solid series I’ve had the pleasure of reading, both in the YA genre and outside of it. This final installment gives us perspective chapters from all of the characters I’ve come to love so much over the course of the series, and I was heavily invested in every single point-of-view. The action was nonstop without becoming overwhelming or fatiguing. I love this setting, I love these characters, and I love how the focus of the entire plot is the importance of the written word. Caine created something special here, and it’s a series I would highly recommend to any and all book lovers.

I love how this series is set up, there's a small crew of core characters that carries the series forward in a brilliant world. The worldbuilding is so good, the primary locations where our characters are located are few, but there's enough pieces of the world, to indicate a richness to the world of The Great Library. I'm also very satisfied with how this series was concluded, and this series is definitely worth a read.
