2023 book 96

 Fran Wilde's The Fire Opal Mechanism

This is a short novel instead of a novella, but still feels kind of underdeveloped, even compared to the first one. I did enjoy the plot a lot—a mysterious group is taking over in all the countries and destroying books and universities, claiming to be democratizing knowledge—and one librarian and a thief are all that can stop them. But I really needed more character development! Interesting connections to the first book, though. A-/B+.
