the left handed booksellers of london sequel

It definitely fit what I was looking for with the added fun factor of two of my favourite things – books and bookshops. This book was a great choice for me after finishing some heavy emotional reads. What I do like about a well-written YA is that it’s usually fun, fast-paced and easy to read as there will always be times for books that fit these criteria. I’m not typically a YA reader and choose these books very selectively, instead preferring middle grade fiction which I found to be more endearing and to contain less aggravating tropes. Fortunately, I had a much better time reading this and wondered perhaps that Nix is just more suited to young adult writing. Nonetheless, the title of this book was too tempting not to give him another try as I’m a real sucker for books about books and/or bookshops. While I enjoyed Sabriel and the following two books in the Old Kingdom series, I had a much less encouraging response to his last book, Angel Mage, which felt more like an attempt towards adult fantasy than his usual. I had mixed experiences with Garth Nix’s books so far. The Left-Handed Booksellers of London was an enjoyable urban fantasy romp in an alternate 1980s-London which left me wanting more from this clever and fascinating world of magical secret service booksellers.
