The Library at Mount Char is a very unique book in the sense of pacing, and outcome. For the first 3/4 of the book, you aren't really sure what's going on, and where it is leading, but the pay off is epic and grand. The book touches on a lot of touchy subjects, religion, etc. but doesn't make light of any of these areas either. The characters are deep and dark, but you get a great sense of who they really are. The plot may be confusing sometimes, but everything seems to makes sense at the end. I really enjoyed this title, and would recommend it to any adult reader.
