Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is a rare delight, in that perfect space where bibliophilia and technology intersect. I wasn't sure what to expect out of this book when I first picked it up; I was merely intrigued by its mystery. From the start, it became clear that mysterious scenarios would abound throughout the book, taking the reader on a journey through high-rising bookshelves and the depths of technological advancement. I really enjoyed the unique-yet-relatable characters and the pacing.
