This book took its idea straight from TV's "The Librarian" movies and show. Still, it was mildly interesting. There was too much jumping back-and-forth between present-day action, Sinon's story, and previous "keepers". Hearing about the previous keepers in reverse chronological order was interesting, but Sinon's story could have been summarized in a prologue. There was also no background about the world the book was set in. I gathered that there was some type of martial law thing going on - gas rationing, car searches, etc., but it would have been helpful to have some explanation why. At least the book wasn't a thinly disguised romance novel. I read a summary of the next book in the series, and the setting looks to be even more confusing. I don't think I'll continue with it.
