Interpretation To Books Ink, Iron, and Glass (Ink, Iron, and Glass #1)
Can she write a world gone wrong?A certain pen, a certain book, and a certain person can craft entirely new worlds through a branch of science called scriptology. Elsa comes from one such world that was written into creation, where her mother―a noted scriptologist―constantly alters and expands their reality.
But when her home is attacked and her mother kidnapped, Elsa is forced to cross into the real world and use her own scriptology gifts to find her. In an alternative Victorian Italy, Elsa finds a secret society of young scientists with a gift for mechanics, alchemy, or scriptology―and meets Leo, a gorgeous mechanist with a smart mouth and tragic past. She recruits the help of these fellow geniuses just as an assassin arrives on their doorstep.
In this thrilling debut, worlds collide as Elsa unveils a deep political conspiracy seeking to unlock the most dangerous weapon ever created―and only she can stop it.

This book sounds AMAZINGOne of my least favorite things in the world is when I read a book that I self-hyped so much in my mind and then the actual product monumentally disappoints. And Ink, Iron, and Glass is the PERFECT example, so I guess it's good for something after all :')What makes it worse is that this book has the kind of concept that could work on pretty much any medium. A steampunk novel where the main character is a character in a world that became sentient?? And she creates worlds but then her world gets

I was told by a friend, Andy, not to give this book a chance. I think we were supposed to BR it last month.. but I never got around to it. Luckily for this book, I found a new buddy, Jennifer to be my BR victim. Weirdly enough, we all rated this book the same. Kind of laughable.. or is it kind of sad.The beginning of Ink, Iron, and Glass was interesting. It intrigued me so much that I wanted to know more about this world. Whether it was the magic aspect or the characters itself - the story was
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and chose to review it. This in no way impacts my opinion.A slow start but an amazing finish. Definitely check this one out when it hits shelves in a couple weeks! Plus see my blog tour stop on February 19th on Books and Ladders!
This book is super hard for me to rate because it's somewhere between 4 to 5 stars. It has a brilliantly conceived world and the world building is superb (and not something I usually harp on or care about). It's a quiet book, doesn't have a lot of flashy plot twists, but there's just something about it. The main character is super relatable to me, and she has a fascinating personality and limitations that she has to grow from. The character arcs are very nice. It wasn't a super fast paced book,
A vibrant creative alternate world with mechanists, alchemists, and scriptologists populating the streets of an alt-Pisa and even stranger worlds beyond (view spoiler)[and in? (hide spoiler)] that. A rich and inventive story; some of the finer magical aspects may be unexplained but the excellent characters and the strong plotting compensate. There is a lot of imagination at play here and I also super enjoyed this various dispositions of this cast -- how they complemented, contrasted, and
