Description

The infinite library has been, for centuries now, the source of knowledge for the academics of Ritena. It contains a copy of every book ever written. Annually, university applicants descend into the mysterious library for their entrance exams. Unfortunately, not all of them come back.

Eliot Roshan is one such applicant. Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, he too wishes to be a scholar, hoping to continue his grandfather's research. Unfortunately for him, the research notes are lost somewhere in the library. On the day of his entrance exam, he has a single plan: - to pass the test and obtain his grandfather's notebook in the process.

As it turns out, however, he is severely unprepared, andthe library is rarely forgiving to those who are not ready.

It's early in the story, the scene has only just been set, the characters barely fleshed out. That being said, it's good. Really good.
The way the author has described the setting of the infinite library gives a huge scope for world building, something I wasn't quite expecting. The obvious antagonists appear to be automated defences that of the library and are nebulous in their veriety, so much so that even the experienced delvers have very little idea how to kill them.
Then there is the shadowy super monsters that nobody knows about, the constant shuffling of the surroundings and the hint of an underlying secret that could explain the whole library.
I think this could be good.
