A great premise having the Library of the Unwritten as a part of hell. Part of undead librarian Claire's job is to track down escaped characters from the books in the library. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

A library of unwritten books? In Hell? And it becomes the center of a battle between Heaven and Hell? The hero is a librarian? Well, sign me up. Author A.J. Hackwith does a great job setting the tone for a series that's sure to delight fans of Good Omens and other works by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It also had a flavor of Brom's book Lost Gods in it's hellish descriptions, and the biblio-magic and ingenuity of the main character reminded me of Scott Hawkin's Library at Mount Char. For folks who are bibliophiles and spend their time exploring the obscure stacks of any library, The Library of the Unwritten will provide the bookish references and plenty of writerly love, and certainly any librarian might even think that being a librarian in Hell wouldn't be so bad. Watch librarian Claire as she attempts to recover an escaped piece of an unwritten novel, trying to meet its author, but instead she and her crew of unlikely friends and heroes stumble upon an artifact that could led the mortal world into the End Times.

The Library of the Unwritten by A. J. Hackwith, a superb read. The Library of the Unwritten books resides in Hell part of and yet separate from. Unwritten books from authors long dead and books yet to be written all reside there, and the books are restless, some characters yearning to be written and some demanding to be changed. When a Character comes to life and goes seeking its author the Librarian gets sent after it.

The concept of this book was like every author's worst nightmare--a library of unfinished books. Of course I was interested. It was a good book, but not up to the hype. Honestly, I'd rather read Rachel Caine's THE GREAT LIBRARY series.

What a joy I had reading this book! I am one of those people who can't resist books with titles that have "library", "bookstore", "book", etc words attached. More often than not, I get disappointed because some books just don't deliver. I started reading this one with low expectation, but right out of the first page, Claire Hadley, the librarian of Hell, charmed and bewitched me. The other characters were lovable as well. I enjoyed the adventures that they had throughout the book.
Looking forward to read the sequel.
