When I started reading it was interesting, the world building is important for new landscapes or cultures or how the magic works, but when I reached half the book and it just didn't seem to start... I suspected the worst. And then suddenly I finished and... Nothing really happens. Nothing. It's very plain.
I stumbled upon it because it's supposed to be an old school classic fantasy book. And I understand that in the 80's to have important women in books (The MC and most of the myths revolve around women) was something daring. But... it has just so many wrong points, technically speaking, that don't make this a good book.

I find incredible that I kept the "surprised pikachu" face all the time. I really liked this book, the suspense is maintained through all the story. Very different from other book from Koontz that I read before, so I didn't have good expectations about this one.

LC reviewed The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Review of 'The Midnight Library' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
It's a light book, very quick to read. In technical aspects, it's pretty average.
The story is fine, it's the journey of Nora Seed through a path of self acceptance and improvement. It's a good ride but by the synopsis I thought it'd be more interesting.
I think it can be pretty useful for people to think about their own lives. You know, it's like being present in the therapy of someone else, without the real struggle of having to experiment it yourself. Self help is that way.
So, in short, this is a self-help book.
