Raiders of the Lost Archives

Whew, it has been awhile! Sorry for that, but real life got a hold of me. Now, though, with time to kill and books to read, I am back!

My first review of 2020 is Raiders of the Lost Archives by Micheal Dahl. I received an ARC copy from NetGalley. The book comes out Aug. 1st, 2020.

The Librarian has long worked in the shadows to guard the Library of Doom and its collection of deadly books. But now, best-selling author, Micheal Dahl, is bringing the hero's adventure into the light with Secrets of the Library of Doom!

I thought this book was really good! The cover hooked me right away. The art is amazing. Patricio Clarey did an awesome job. The book is marketed for kids, but I think anyone can enjoy it. It's a short read, but a lot of fun. There is lore hidden away that makes me want to know more about this world. This is great for kids because it's action-y, but also explains any words they don't know at the end of the book. I also really liked how some of the text was illustrated. It really brought the story to life!
