Nevertheless, everything that seemed irrelevant at the time would later be a more important aspect that moved the plot forward. Pacing: The story had moments of the ordinary that, while did not drag, did not seem terribly exciting either. There is also a wonderfully dry sense of humour from some of the characters that will make you pause or even laugh to yourself. Writing Style: The word selection is on par for teenagers, but still enjoyable for those who are in an older age bracket. Some of them are particularly interesting such as chapter twenty on page 232. Product: This hardcover novel has titled chapters that include pictures at the top of the page with corresponding call numbers of where the item would be held in the Repository. Once you examine the illustration a bit more closely, you can see various intriguing aspects that mimic the aesthetic of the story. But when powerful items start loosing their magic or go missing, Elizabeth and her new friends need to discover who the thief is before someone gets hurt.Ĭover: The artwork has a mystical element to it that is easily missed at first glance due to the darkened colour palette. Rather than books, it lends out anything from fondue fountains to Marie Antoinette’s wig and, more importantly, items from the Grimm Collection. Synopsis: When Elizabeth gets an afterschool job at the New York Circulating Material Repository, it isn’t quite what she was expecting.
