But the power of the book is not without consequences, and Emma soon realizes that she isn't the only one who knows about it. Someone is determined to take it from her—and they'll stop at nothing to succeed. As it turns out, Emma hasn't seen anything yet. When she finds an old book in an abandoned library, things really start going Emma's way: anything she writes in the book comes true. You remember a book. You remember it leaving an impression on you. You remember … a character, or a scene, or a setting … but not the title or author.

However, once the magical book was introduced, this became its own story (just with elements of Austen). Characters - I enjoyed all the characters, for such a short book they felt developed enough but not as well fleshed out of course... I'd also tighten up the middle of the story; it felt a little drawn-out, where for a while they kept getting clues but not getting any closer to solving the mystery! (However, I liked the mystery itself, which was very intriguing and kept me hooked, and when the reveals happened, they were well done and unexpected.) You're curious, right? Yeah.. Inside here, there is something mysterious, magical, murder? and ancient myths that kept me interested *gasp* and hooked me in this autumn feels, until I graduated with a happily weepy heart! LOL

When a girl is destined to be a heroine, Fate will lead her to the very thing that makes that heroism possible." You’ve got this young doctor working in 18th-century Lymington. He is interested in philosophy and the way of the world at a time when most things were still unknown. Doctors didn’t know all the things they needed to know to cure people. He befriends an older doctor, and they meet regularly to have philosophical chats, and these philosophical chats are in the book. He is also introduced to a woman, who is probably in her 30s, who has bought a big house in Lymington. She suggests that they have a ‘conversation.’ Mitchell, narrowly escaping capture and out of both air and time, lands at the mercy of the Riggers, which are a ragtag crew of ex-commandos that patrol the lawless outer reaches of the galaxy. Guided by a captain that has a reputation for cold-blooded murder, they are immoral, dangerous, and possibly even insane. A spanner is thrown into the works when the woman’s daughter turns up and he completely falls for her and wants to run away and marry her. That causes the whole arrangement to blow up.The internet relies on the kindness of strangers. The good thing is that book lovers are everywhere and the fraternity is amazingly cooperative even when finding a book using a vague description. So, the next time you ask yourself, "what was that book?" try to recall any tiny detail of the book.

Honestly, I still know the whole story/plot, because I've reread it A LOT. Mechthild Gläser did such a good job with this book, the story keeps being interesting the whole time, the characters are freaking cool and it has a dark, mysterious touch which I LOVE. Also, the mc is called Emma AND my name is Emma - that alone is a big plus factor ;) Gets a star for just its gorgeous looking cover. It’s so bright and colourful and detailed and amazing. Whoever designed the cover should get a medal. Beyond the beautiful cover and the hint of magic and romance was what made me read this book. Okay, it was mainly the amazing cover. Does the book live up to the cover. Uhh… not really? I mean, it’s not that bad, but I’ll explain why I didn’t like it as much as I wanted to.

It’s also slightly depressing, because then you realise how many wonderful books are out there that you’ll never discover. You can do it digitally, and in fact, the Abandoned Bookshop is all about finding these sorts of books and issuing them digitally, partly because most of them won’t work in print. And although it’s a little bit dissatisfying to have to do them differently, at least they’re there. If we can make them available, there’s a chance people might discover them. If, in a year or two’s time, someone wants to do a print edition, brilliant, but at the moment, perhaps just by us making a bit of a noise about them, we can draw attention to these writers’ achievements. And because we’re talking about books that you’ll often come to second-hand, the same goes for the material itself: you know you’re reading something that someone else has read. You don’t know how many hands it’s passed through. It’s that connection to times gone by; I like the idea that something that someone produced 20, 30, 50, 100 years ago still resonates with someone today. I loved the characterisationin this book besides I felt a couple characters were underdeveloped. I loved the subtle mystery and definitely loved the setting! I am definitely looking forward to what this author has in store for us next! Die Story ist so vergesslich, dass ich dazu gar nicht erst was schreiben werde. Weil ich schon gar nichts mehr darüber weiß. Bis auf eine Sache.
