    About this audiobook

    The New York Times Bestseller

    In Ink and Bone, bestselling author Rachel Caine introduced a world where knowledge is power, and power corrupts absolutely. Now she continues the story of those who dare to defy the Great Library—and rewrite history …

    Jess Brightwell has survived his introduction to the sinister, seductive world of the Library, but serving in its army is nothing like he envisioned. His life and the lives of those he cares for have been altered forever.

    Embarking on a mission to save one of their own, Jess and his band of allies make one wrong move and suddenly find themselves hunted by the Library’s deadly automata and forced to flee Alexandria, all the way to London.

    But Jess’s home isn’t safe anymore. The Welsh army is coming, London is burning, and soon Jess must choose between his friends, his family, and the Library, which is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in the search for ultimate control …

      This is the second book in the series that began with PAPER AND INK. In this one the young students at the Library of Alexandria have been separated. Glain and Jess are in the guards, Morgan has been outed as an obscurist and imprisoned in the Iron Tower for life, Dario and Khalili are beginning their careers as scholars. And Thomas is presumed dead. The main thrust of this story is finding Thomas and rescuing him from his imprisonment by the Library. Along the way they discover more of the evil that the Library does. What is most fascinating to me about this series is the way that the library, which was designed to preserve knowledge, has become a very powerful agency that stifles and controls knowledge. Both Thomas and the young people's mentor Wolfe were in major trouble with the Library because each independently invented movable type. I enjoy the steampunk aspects of this world with creatures that combine mechanics with magic. I also enjoy the science fiction aspects with the transporter similar to the ones in Star Trek but powered by magic. The only thing that I didn't enjoy about this story, which was filled with action, adventure, and all sorts of moral decisions, was that it is the middle book in a trilogy and I am left waiting for answers until the third book is released.
    • 4/5
      Wonderful book! The suspense is killing me, I have to read the next one!!
    • 4/5
      Practically non-stop adventures befall the band of friends from the previous book as they search for one of their group who may or may not be alive and held prisoner. It's a bit exhausting just reading about it! Once again, as, alas, in real life, an organization that started out with a noble idea---collect all the written knowledge of the world, in this case---becomes more concerned with maintaining its absolute power (and continuing to exist) than in fulfilling its original purpose.(Ephemera---documents not known by the characters in the main story---are found between the chapters. At the end of the book is a sound track, listing the music the author listened to while writing the book.)

      Review: Another exciting installment to the Great Library series! (And I'm so glad to find out there are going to be one 3 but 5 books in the series!) This one took me a lot longer to read that is should have. I'm a mood reader, and for some reason both books in the series have been heavy reads for me. Maybe it's that so much happens, and it all happens back to back? I'm not sure but I'm so glad I stuck with it! The ending of the first book came as a shock, and I had to know what Jess and his friends would do next!

      This one picks up where book one left off, and things appear to just be getting started. Not only did the library retaliate against Thomas, but they seem to be doing a lot of other shady dealings that they would rather keep hidden. In book two we see not only how Jess and his friends settle into their new ranks and lives, but also learn more about the library, and what makes it tick! (Turns out things are not as they seem at first glance!)

      The characters are back for more, and I love seeing more of Jess and the gang in this exciting sequel. Now to try to get my hands on the next book! ;D
    • 4/5
      4 1/2 stars. The adventure continues and the action really ramps up, there is a lot going on in this fast paced book.
      I really like that the bad guy Wolfe in book 1 turns out to be a very good guy indeed. The pattern continues in book 2 as the horrible roommate Dario turns into someone the core group can count on, even though it looked at one point that he betrayed them. I love to see an evil/bad/annoying character turn in to someone that the protagonist can count on.

      I'm very interested to see where the story goes now that the group are moving onto Philadelphia

      edit ** reread 1st read 7/15/17 reread 11/30/19, I want to read the whole series as a series only read the first 3 in 2017
    • 4/5
      Another exciting installment in The Great Library series. Lots of action and political intrigue in this fast paced story about what happens when a great institution becomes too powerful. The world building continues to be excellent as well as the characters. I liked this one slightly better than the first book, mainly because of the continued character and world building. This series is perfect for fans of Fahrenheit 451. Just be warned there is a HUGH cliff hanger at the end.
    • 4/5
      In the second book of the Great Library series, Jess is at a loss to determine what his next move should be. While he loves the concept of the Library, its reality chills his bones, particularly when he learns that one of his friends whom he believed was killed is actually imprisoned. As he works with several other members of his original training group to rescue his friend, they'll come up against the seemingly unstoppable power of the Library forcing them to make choices they never could have imagined.Plenty of action, political machinations, and world development here. There's also growth for Jess as he discovers that a found family may be stronger than the one he was born into and at the same time figures out how he wants to fight against the Library. I continue to love the idea of the Great Library of Alexandria being a power unto itself and the corruption of its ideals from protecting knowledge to controlling it. Highly recommended to fans of the first book but be warned there's a pretty significant cliffhanger at the end of this volume.
    • 5/5
      Jess and Glain continue training with the High Garda of the Library, while Khalila and Dario remain scholars. Morgan is in the Iron Tower with the other Obscurists, but she's talented enough that she's still contacting Jess when she can. Jess is determined to find out more of the Library's secrets - in particular, about the Black Archives and if his friend Thomas is still alive.The continuing adventures of Jess and his friends continue where the last one left off, and take our heroes from Alexandria to Rome on their adventures. The world-building of this alternate universe where the Library controls all knowledge and prevents certain technological advances that would dilute its power - in particular, the printing press - is phenomenal. My one quibble is that instead of truly ending we're left with a blatant cliffhanger just stopping everything in the middle of action.
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars.. I think this book suffered a bit from middle book syndrome.. still definitely looking forward to the last!
    • 4/5
      Great continuation of the first and a huge plot twister right at the end if the book. Whew!
    • 3/5
      The sequel to Ink and Bone is certainly a faster paced book than the previous one. Jess finds information that leads him to believe that Thomas might possibly be alive. He and his friends try to work on finding a way to find him and spring him. Of course the Archivist has his eye on all of them and they quickly have to try to escape before they are put to death. There is more of a subtext of family and how everyone interacts with their family members in this story. What the group is trying to do will shake the foundations of their society and I’m not sure all of them can live with the consequences.

      *Spoiler alert for those who haven't read the first volume in the Great Library series.*The novel picks up roughly six months after the events in Ink and Bone. Apart from Thomas and Morgan, Jess and the other surviving postulants are in training in their respective posts at the Library, but together with Scholar Wolfe and Captain Santi are devising a plan to break Thomas from the secret prison he's being held in. But of course things don't go to plan and they have to flee for their lives (again).The second instalment in the series proceeds at a slower pace than its predecessor, but the personal stakes of all the individuals concerned have increased, and there is still plenty of action and excitement to make this one a page-turner. Again I felt that the prose was a bit slapdash in places, but the characters show some development as both individuals and as a tight-knit group, and you root for them despite their flaws.The novel ends with a cliff-hanger; luckily, the third volume, Ash and Quill, is already lined up.
    • 5/5
      This is the second book in The Great Library series, there are five books planned for this series. I absolutely loved this book. This is such an interesting world with unique characters. I listen to these on audiobook and they are very well done. Elfer does an amazing job with narration and I would highly recommend this series on audiobook if you enjoy audiobooks. In this book Jess and crew have to join together to rescue Thomas and save Morgan from the Iron Tower. Along the way they hear strange rumors of something called The Black Archives. Jess believes the Black Archives could be the key to stopping the Great Library’s abusive power. There was a ton of action in this book and lots of interesting intrigue. We learn more about the obscurists and what they can do and also get to venture into the Iron Tower. I have been loving this series: the story, the characters, and the world are all just perfect. Overall I am loving this series and this was a great addition to it. I would recommend this series to those who enjoy historical fantasy with intriguing world-building and engaging characters. I can’t wait to read the third book, “Ash and Quill”.
    • 4/5
      Paper and Fire is a sweeping tale of social reform, family betrayal, friendship and love. With characters that are believable and likable, it is easy to get caught up in the unending action.

      While the second book in a series, it can be read on it's own without a feeling that you have missed a large portion of the tale.
    • 5/5
      I can't explain it, but this series just makes my heart happy. I love everything about it!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this one just as much as the first in the series. All my favourite characters made and appearance and there was lots of action. I had a couple issues with the plot line but nothing that I'd make a big fuss over. Recommended if you've read the first book and I'm looking forward to the next one!
    • 4/5
      I very much enjoy this series. At several points the author could send the plot in predictable directions, but she continually surprises. I'll confess I don't completely understand the way the library works (instead of having one device like a Kindle for a reader, it seems each book is given its own. Is that correct?). But such details aren't really necessary. The relationships are the central point, and I especially appreciate how the characters are forced to choose between doing the right thing for their friends, or fulfilling what had been their greatest personal aspirations. We all face such choices, although few of us choose correctly. It is gratifying to see that she does not gloss over the significance of those individual decisions.
    • 4/5
      Lots of things that happened in the last book come to fruition in this and things just keep getting complicated. The Library has complex politics and the backstabbing is powerful. Our heros are finding more about what they can do in this world and how they can fight the system. This is a very interesting concept and world and I'm very curious as to what's going to happen next.
    • 4/5
      3.75 stars
      I quite enjoyed this sequel. I loved being back in the world of the Great Library. The political intrigue and corruption in the ruling government was at its peak, and I bet there is still more to come. I found that in this instalment the major plot could have been moved a bit more though, it felt lacking. I really enjoyed the characters and world building and the action. I hope more development of the burners happens in the next book :)

      Overall, an enjoyable read that kept me interested and wanting to keep reading.
    • 4/5
      This is the second book in The Great Library Series, and so there are inevitable spoilers for the first book below. ____________________________________________________________________________________________Now that the requisite spoiler alert is out of the way, let’s get down to business.Jess finds himself as a lowly grunt in the Library’s Garda. Forced to abandon his dream of becoming a Library scholar, and very aware of the dark underside of the Library’s rule, Jess uses his smuggling past to try to find more information of the imprisoned Morgan and murdered Thomas. When Jess uncovers a bombshell: Thomas is alive and held captive by the Library at a secret prison, Jess must reunite his old friends (and frenemies) in a desperate rescue attempt. Little does he know that this act of rebellion will spark a violent chain of events which could threaten the world as he knows it.Paper and Fire is a good sequel to Ink and Bone. The characters seem to have grown up quite a bit since we first met them, and the danger from the Library and its minions seems more devious and omnipresent than ever. We are given more information about the inner workings of the Library, and learn more about its past. I always enjoy the second book in the series, we’ve gotten over the awkward introduction phase and the characters can really stretch their legs. Caine lets Jess and his friends grow, but avoids the simple and comfortable and keeps things on a more realistic and complicated plane.If you enjoyed the first book in the series, you will almost certainly like this one. If you haven’t read Ink and Bone yet, then you really shouldn’t be reading this review, should you? But either way, fans of the Harry Potter or Hunger Games series will enjoy these books, which manage to be both about teenagers and very adult at the same time.
    • 4/5
      On to book three (though I really thought I'd already posted a review on this, and have actually read book 3 already, so can no longer really say where one ended and the other began. But, this didn't suffer from middle book syndrome, and while it left this reader itching for more, it didn't leave me disappointed that I had to wait.)
    • 3/5
      "Books had become a symbol of trust and libraries places of peace and stability. In all the chaos of the world that counted people as different levels of worthy, the Library served all equally. All genders, races, levels of ability. It was the one place they could all be safe. It was a fragile idea, and the safety was a fiction. But the ideal was worth preserving."

      I did not have strong feelings towards Paper and Fire in either direction. The final few chapters of escalating high stakes drama were invigorating, but the majority of the book was rather beige. Overall a disappointing follow-up to such a promising start. Jess is now a member of the High Garda, but still up to his old tricks as he and his former classmates search for answers regarding their friend's disappearance. Alexandria is a dangerous place to be dealing in secrets, however, and time is quickly running out, as the Great Library does not take kindly to people questioning its control. Paper and Fire, like its predecessor, pleases in beautiful and deadly world building, complete with visions of mythological Egyptian splendor and the fearsome yet mesmerizing automata employed to protect the Library and its secrets at any cost. Yet despite its uniqueness in setting and original premise, the developing plot still falls flat.
    • 4/5
      Paper and Fire is the sequel to Rachel Caine’s YA alternate history fantasy novel, Ink and Bone. This is a series that really must be read in order, so if you haven’t read Ink and Bone, I’d suggest looking into it before Paper and Fire.Jess Brightwood has infiltrated the Library, the tremendously powerful organization that controls access to knowledge throughout the world and ruthlessly crushes all who oppose it. When Jess learns that his friend Thomas Schreiber, who disappeared presumed dead after inventing a machine that would destroy the Library’s monopoly on books, may still be alive, Jess is determined to stage a rescue. But this rescue will put Jess and his friends at even greater peril from Library forces.Paper and Fire did not have great pacing. Large parts of the book felt like they were just killing time, and it took forever for the plot to really get rolling. In part, this may be Middle Book syndrome. Hopefully the final book in the trilogy will be less ambling.I mentioned in my review of Ink and Bone that I didn’t care for Jess as a protagonist one way or the other. That continues to be true. The most memorable character of the series for me is Wolfe, but I found many of the others largely forgettable. In the year’s time between reading the first book and Paper and Fire, I’d forgotten who almost everyone was. There’s characters who obviously must have been in the first book, but for the life of me I can’t recall them.I still really like the world building of the series. The automatons and alternate history remain a lot more creative than the norm. However, beyond the original setting, the series still follows the familiar beats of YA dystopia. In Paper and Fire these elements started to wear on me a lot more than they did in Ink and Bone.Despite some of the lackluster qualities of this sequel, I intend to follow through with the series to the final book. I’ve found the world too enthralling to completely let go.Originally posted on The Illustrated Page.
    • 3/5
      I loved book one, this one, not so much. There was a lot of running around, escaping, getting caught, escaping again, running, getting caught......and never really getting anywhere. the endless loup of the same thing over and over. It felt like a filler. Ouch that hurt to say I love this author but shoot me out of the canon it was a circus of escaping escapades. One of the characters who the story would have had difficulty going on without came back, it's a miracle ! Yeh it was too convenient. There was a massive development in the last 20 pages setting up for a great book 3. Overall I was disappointed.
    • 5/5
      What a terrific adventure tale! Jess works for an organization, the Library, that controls and preserves all the knowledge of the world. He is dispatched on a mission to rescue one of their own, but rapidly falls into the hands of the evil ones including the Library's guardians who are automated killers. Fans of the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series should be attracted to this series too. Absolutely no disappointments here. My thanks to the author and the Penguin First to Read program for a complimentary copy.
    • 4/5
      A sequel to Ink and Bone, Paper and Fire maintained the pace set in book one. In this case, Paper and Fire could be read as a standalone novel, however, it is far better to read Ink and Bone first. These two books really are a series and I can't wait to get a copy of book three. Aimed at young adults, I have enjoyed both books and look forward to reading more of Rachel Caime's novels .
    • 4/5
      "Ink and Bone" was one of my favourite reads for 2015, so I was eager to read the sequel. "Paper and Fire" started slowly for me, more my fault than the author's as I struggled to remember the details of the first book. However, once it all started falling into place, I thoroughly enjoyed the action, intensity and darkness of this book. It was a pleasure seeing Jess develop as a character, I just wish the others showed the same growth. As for the ending - what a cliff-hanger! It is with great regret that I now have to wait such a long time for the next instalment.
    • 5/5
      I loved the first book in this series and I loved this one too. I am far beyond the age group I suspect it is aimed at, but I really enjoyed it. Great characters and great ideas. In fact I liked it so much, I went and read the free short chapters on the author's website too. Recommended.
    • 4/5
      This book was full of back-stabbing adventure. I am really amazed that objects and people in this series are transported by translations. I really did not foresee all the escapes that happened in this book. The author did a good job with the romance, just enough and no sappiness. It is fun to think of books and automatons as being alive. I enjoyed this story a little more than the first book in the series. I am looking forward to book three.
    • 4/5
      Imagine a world where the leading superpower isn't a national government or religion. In this world, there's one organization that has ruled for centuries and that organization is the Great Library. In this world, there's no such thing as bookstores. The Great Library allows you to read portions of books and anything that doesn't fit with their agenda is banned. Any library scholar or affiliate that comes up with ideas that may minimize the Library's power is deemed an enemy and arrested. This is the world that Jess Brightwell and friends live in. Jess and friends must decide if they're willing to adhere to strict Library guidelines or think for themselves in the second book in The Great Library Series by Rachel Caine, Paper and Fire.After our introduction to The Great Library in Ink and Bone, Jess and friends had finished their postulant training. Morgan had been forced into service as an Obscurist, never able to leave the Iron Tower. Glain Wathen had become a training officer in the High Garda, living to protect the Great Library no matter what. Khalila Seif and Dario Santiago had become Library Research Scholars. Jess is a low-level Garda-in-training and Thomas, an engineering genius, is reported as killed presumably for creating a printing press. Down, but never out, Jess is looking for answers to why the Library killed Thomas. With a little help from Morgan and a local book smuggling family, is that Thomas is still alive and being kept in a prison facility far away. Jess and friends must decide if they want to free their friend Thomas and if so, if they're willing to fight the might of the Library no matter the cost?I found Paper and Fire to be just as riveting a read as Ink and Bone. I'm somewhat enamored with a world that still has the great Library at Alexandria, but this is definitely tempered by the notion that bookstores are nonexistent and I could only read and own approved "books" via the library. (No these are printed books that we're used to be a cross between printed books and digital books.) Ms. Caine has crafted a believable dystopian world based on a desire for control and power and the Library is powerful beyond anything we could possibly imagine. She provides romance, dysfunctional family drama, and tons of internal and external conflict for all of the characters to deal with. The head of the library, the Archivist, and his assistant, the Artifex Magnus, are willing to do anything to ensure their world view continues. There are people fighting against the Library and its control, but they are just as blinded by their vision as the Archivist and Artifex Magnus. It was disheartening to learn that the Obscurist as forced into service and treated no better than slaves. The female Obscurists are even raped in order to perpetuate the Obscurist line. (No, I won't tell you if this has been Morgan's fate or not...read the book!)

If you haven't read Ink and Bone, start there; you'll probably want to binge read both books so make sure you have a few days to read and enjoy. I eagerly await the next addition to The Great Library Series to find out what happens next.
