I loved the idea of this book: the library setting in Hell an Unwritten Wing for unfinished books a librarian watching and hunting book characters an escaped Hero! Merging the undead, ghosts, book characters, demons and fallen angels in a fantasy adventure seemed great escapism.Īnd it was, for the most part. Stories want to change, and it is a librarian’s job to preserve them that’s the natural order of things… it is a story’s natural ambition to wake up and start telling itself to the world. But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong, in a chase that threatens to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell… and Earth. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto.
Along with repairing and organising books, her job consists of keeping an eye on restless stories whose characters risk materialising and escaping the library. “A muse, an undead librarian, a demon, and a ghost walk into Valhalla… what follows is a delightful and poignant fantasy adventure.” Kit RochaĮvery book left unfinished by its author is filed away in the Unwritten Wing, a neutral space in Hell presided over by Claire, its head librarian. This book is so much fun.” Seanan McGuire “It’s like The Good Place meets Law & Order: Bibliophile Crime Unit.
