The Library at Mount Char – Scott Hawkins

Here’s another book that took me being on an airplane to finish. And I’m very much not sure what I read. It’s insane.

A group of kids get adopted by a man that is actually a powerful being with a cosmic library he’s written. Each kid learns a particular branch of the knowledge, and they’re not allowed to overlap. They more or less turn feral, and then get thrust back into the real world because their “Father” may or may not be dead.

I finished this just to see where the hell it was going. I can’t say that I liked it. I guess I didn’t hate it either, but man. What a bizarre book.
