Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really fun story. Clay Jannon is unemployed and lands himself a job in the worlds' strangest bookstore.
The book takes us on an ancient quest, with all the mod cons; googles, internet, etc.
The characters are all very loveable and I really enjoyed the time I spent with each of them. They began to feel very real to me.
Either Robin Sloan has the world's most vivid imagination, or there are things out there that we all have no idea about.
Very entertaining read.
