The Library at Mount Char was a fantastic tale. I was confused for quite a while as to what was going to happen next. Carolyn and 11 other children were orphaned by force and then "adopted" by Father. From there they began their studies in different catalogues such as healing, languages, death, war, and more. Carolyn is the protagonist in this tale and she seems like she wants out of this twisted world. Her friend Steve may hold the key to help Carolyn do this.
There is so much evil in these pages that it almost turned me off, but I kept reading ahead. I was curiously hoping to find connections to the strangeness of the actions. It took a while to get there, but then it started to stitch itself together. I really enjoyed reading this book, even if it was a bit uncomfortable at times. This has been one of a unique fantasy tale I have ever come across. I would highly recommend it, but beware it is not a kid friendly book. Every twist and turn had me guessing the possibilities, then abandoning them, knowing that what my mind came up with would not suit what the author already created. For a debut novel, I really liked it. It seems like there may be a sequel in the future. I would definitely read the
next one too.
