Paper and Fire
Paper and Fire | Rachel Caine
In "Ink and Bone," "New York Times "bestselling author Rachel Caine introduced a world where knowledge is power, and power corrupts absolutely. Now, she continues the story of those who dare to defy the Great Library and rewrite history... With an iron fist, The Great Library controls the knowledge of the world, ruthlessly stamping out all rebellion, forbidding the personal ownership of books in the name of the greater good. Jess Brightwell has survived his introduction to the sinister, seductive world of the Library, but serving in its army is nothing like he envisioned. His life and the lives of those he cares for have been altered forever. His best friend is lost, and Morgan, the girl he loves, is locked away in the Iron Tower and doomed to a life apart. Embarking on a mission to save one of their own, Jess and his band of allies make one wrong move and suddenly find themselves hunted by the Library s deadly automata and forced to flee Alexandria, all the way to London. But Jess s home isn't safe anymore. The Welsh army is coming, London is burning, and soon, Jess must choose between his friends, his family, or the Library willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in the search for ultimate control..."

Shouldn‘t have bothered reading it at all. I vaguely recall not being excited about the first book, so I had to check my review. Sounds like I didn‘t like the story (may not have followed that story, either), but apparently I liked the characters so decided to try the next one. Shouldn‘t have bothered. Nothing interested me in this.

A lot of series suffer from a poor second book which fails to live up to the first one, but in this case I think Paper and Fire was even better than Ink and Bone. With more time to devote to plot rather than world-building, the pace is frenetic. The action moves from Alexandria to Rome and then to London, and the sinister automata play a larger role which was fascinating. I loved it! 5🌟

I haven‘t posted in 6 months! I hit a major reading rut last year and barely read any books past June. I can usually work my way out of a rut, but last year was so tough. This pandemic has affected us all in so many different ways, we may never understand its full impact. I‘m at least happy to share that I‘m slowly working my way to reading more regularly!

On the 2nd book of The Great Library series by Rachel Caine and enjoying it so far ☺️❤️📚

DogMomIrene I had the same issue. Could not concentrate enough to read, which was super frustrating. 2021 is off to a great start, though, so I‘m encouraged! Glad you‘re jumping back in too.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 4y

SassyBookworm Welcome back!!! I absolutely loved the Great Library series!!! I hope that gets you out of your rut! It is one of my favorite series!!! 4y
BooksMcD Thanks all! The support is definitely appreciated. I really liked Ink and Bone, the first in this series which has five books total. So hopefully that will keep me going for a bit! 🤗 4y

A great second installment to this series. Love the parallels is draws between various events in history. The plot is fast moving and loved the surprises along the way. However, I was not crazy about the way this one ended. 4⭐

The second book in the Library series was not disappointing at all! I loved the character development and storyline. This is a young adult book but it isn't void of adventure or intrigue. Follow the main characters as they battle their own core beliefs and values against those of their families and friends.

I really enjoyed reading these books.

The Great Library has proven to not be the shining beacon it claimed it was. Jess and his friends must come together to save themselves and the soul of the Library itself. No big deal.

Remember how I said the last book was a slow start? This one does NOT have that problem. We are almost immediately met with more action, more backstory, more depth to the instalove, and the cynical thief finding trust and support with his found family. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Schnoebs I need to continue on with this series 🤦‍♀️ idk why I haven‘t picked up book 2 yet! 4y

I've been listening to this during my commute for a couple days.

I finished this almost a month ago—figured I‘d really better get caught up on reviews since I‘m now on book 4! I think Ink & Bone is better, but I did thoroughly enjoy this. With Jess & Co. serving their assignments in the Library, I missed the apprentice librarian dynamics of the first book. But I liked seeing the characters in new settings, there was plenty of intrigue & action, and I HAD to get the next book upon finishing, so...still a pick.

I really enjoyed the second book in this series. We have the characters pretty much developed, so now it's time for deepening the story. It is a transitional book, so I would recommend reading them in order. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series and experiencing more adventures with these characters.

#WeAreTheReaders @LibrarianRyan

Santi and Wolfe have this #CrazyLittleThingCalledLove going for each other. Although I expected this, I was still surprised. Both of them seem to be tough, have a hard shell and never show any feelings. They make a great couple and we see more of them in the other books of the Great Library series.

As I have to go with one character I'm choosing Wolfe. Of the two he seemed most unlikely to love someone.

An excellent second installment in the Great Library series. Stakes are even higher as our group settle into their assignments while secretly planning a rescue.

The book ends with them backed in a corner, leaving us wondering how they'll make it through.

This is such a fascinating series so far. The idea of a library that spans the entirety of the globe seems amazing but the book kind of turns the idea on its head. I really love to dislike the world Caine had created. Can't wait until I can book three.

Finished the second book in the Great Library series.

It was good, a bit dragging in parts and other parts were action packed.

I'm still not quite comfortable with some aspects of the world building/alternate reality, but I do understand that it is a tough thing to do for an author.

Now I'm looking forward to the next book, since this one ended in a cliffhanger.

I must admit I'm far more interested in exploring the world the author has built than in the adventures and poltical shenanigans the characters get up to

VioletBramble I liked this book but I did wish the battles and fight scenes were shorter so the characters could get back to library business. The world building was so good I actually downloaded the "book soundtrack" put together by the author. It was a little heavy in Celtic music for a book not set in Ireland but otherwise pretty good. 7y
rwmg I listened to the soundtrack for the first book on Spotify last night. Let's just say the author and I have different tastes in music. 7y

Finished book 2 ahead of #theGreatLibraryChapteraDay - a little bit of the second book drag in the first half (or maybe that's just me reading it during a stressful week) but it was a solid continuation to the series and definitely leaves me wanting to read book 3. Hard to say much more without spoilers, but I'm looking forward to their next plan. Hopefully book 3 will have more Wolfe and Santi too ❤
