Fantasy & SciFi
A librarian with a mysterious past, a war hero with a secret, and the heist of a magic painting. THE LIBRARIAN OF CROOKED LANE is an intriguing new fantasy from C.J. Archer, the USA Today bestselling author of the Glass and Steele series.
Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she’s descended from magicians, she’s skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she’s just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won’t be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.
War hero Gabe is gifted with wealth, a loving family, and an incredible amount of luck that saw him survive four harrowing years of a brutal war without injury. But not all injuries are visible. Burying himself in his work as a consultant for Scotland Yard, Gabe is going through the motions as he investigates the theft of a magician-made painting. But his life changes when he unwittingly gets Sylvia dismissed from her job and places her in danger.
After securing her new employment in a library housing the world’s greatest collection of books about magic, Gabe and Sylvia’s lives become intwined as they work together to find both the painting and the truth about Sylvia’s past before powerful people can stop them.
But sometimes the past is better left buried…

Bra start på en spinoff. Den hade fått högre betyg men lite väl mycket romantik. Jag gillar verkligen författarens stil. Jag tycker om hur hon presenterar samhällsstruktur och tankegångar på ett osentimentalt rakt sätt och desto mer uppskattar jag detta drag när hon nu har förflyttat sig tidsmässigt så pass att samhället redan hunnit förändras.

A gem of a book. Good narrator and a captivating story!

Jag höll på att ge en tvåa. Mest för att jag är så besviken. Historisk fantasy med nästan ingen fantasy förutom små antydningar. Annars en historisk deckare. Besvikelsen gör så jag helt enkelt inte kunde uppskatta den.
