I kind of love the idea of an all-powerful library... possibly because of my job description (librarian, lol!) but also I think the whole idea just sounds cool. I'm also digging that it's a male MC, which I hadn't really noticed before, and that there's a black market for books. How soon can I get my hands on this?!?!
