I really enjoyed the creature-building in this story. The Book Eaters, Knights, and Dragons - each with their own set of rules, living both in the human world and yet remaining outside of it. Consuming stories the way we do cheeseburgers, chocolate, and fine wines. Their gifts and limitations, family structure, and houses - all revealed in bite size pieces. Moving back and forth from the present day to what brought them here. I found myself wanting more backstory, more time spent in their world before everything changed. But change is inevitable, I suppose. I have a feeling that this may become a series of stories, based on the ending. Only time will tell.
