The Book That Held Her Heart (The Library Trilogy)

By Mark Lawrence and Mark Lawrence

Two people once connected by a vast and mysterious library are now separated and must overcome time and distance to reunite and bring peace to their worlds, in the final book of the Library Trilogy.

The fate of an infinite library hangs on one book, a book that holds the power to break the unbreakable. In the face of such forces, fragile things like hearts, worlds, and even family seem certain to fail.

The people most vital to Livira are scattered across time and space--lost, divided into factions, in mortal peril. Somehow she must bring them together and resolve the unresolvable argument that fuels the library's war.

The bond between Livira and Evar has stretched and stretched again. Can it hold at the end, when things fall apart? Can it unite them against impossible odds?

This is the last chapter, the final page. The end threatens and no one--not characters, readers, or even the author--will emerge unscathed.

Such a good series!

Wow, this book left me with so many feelings! The last book in a wonderful series about a great and infinite library and the sides that want to see it destroyed or saved or maybe another solution besides that of Jaspeth or Irad comes to a mighty conclusion that will affect all realities and races be they at peace or war with one another. And a book that spans the time, capable of destroying reality itself. This story doesn't hold back on the punches so be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions (at least for me) as Livira, Evar, and everyone else figure out what they truly think about the library and whether it should continue as they fall through so many layers of reality, time, and maybe worlds (that got so nicely twisty and also heart stopping at some of the realities). I did really like that after the story of Livira and Evar were fleshed out in the previous two books, you get to see other relationships form, plus more of Celcha and Mayland with their opposing views of the library and how maybe extremes are not the answer and that maybe there is another way (which is what Yute and Kerrol do in this book), if Livira's book can be tracked down before it completely destroys the library. There are many good messages in this series, and the ending was very well done even though so many sacrifices were made which hurt my heart and left me gasping until it was over. I will be thinking about this for a good long time. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read this and finish up a wonderful series!
