It was a fun adventure. Loved all the background stories of the book. It made me want to travel the world & look for rare books. It wasn't at all what I expected. When I first finished, I hated the end, but it has grown on me.

A dangerous book, power hungry buyers and two booksellers on a path to destruction.

This was nuts bro. The ending wasn’t my cup of tea, but it does make sense in relation to the story.

A fluid filled foray into the dark magic of human desires.

This book kinda has it all. It's well written, the concept is unique, there's a level of mystery and intrigue, but it's also pretty spicy in a way that isn't cringy.

Highly recommend to people who are into the occult, or books about books.
