I have to be honest. I have fallen out of love with this series. I loved the characters in the beginning - Paige was hilariously clueless and Dewey was cute and lovable, but now I just find the banter between them rude, disrespectful at times and irritating. It's almost as if they don't even like each other very much, yet are forced to remain as begrudging partners. Throw in arrogant Drucinda, who doesn't seem to like anyone at all and Devon who, for all intents and purposes, coerced Paige to marry him in a loveless arrangement as part of a deal to save her mom. Certainly not doing so out of the goodness of his own heart!
Paige has now finally found her mother, but to save her from the magical coma she is in, Paige and Dewey have to travel the realms meeting characters from some of the author's other books to find pieces of a key to open a safe and get the elixir that will save her life! Of course it's not all that easy, but it wasn't a particularly challenging quest either especially with all the help they got!
The best part was meeting the Graggles - the original Fraggles from my beloved childhood TV show!
I did think the ending was a bit rushed and almost pointless. Once Reed was saved, I don't really think the chapters on stopping Higgins were necessary - seemed like this could have been another book in the series to do this storyline justice and have more of Reed as a prominent character.

August 28, 2026Great Premise, Terrible Execution, and Somehow It Gets Worse
Full disclosure: I only listened to this series because it was available for free on Audible for a while, and I wanted some cozy fantasy/cozy mystery fluff between more intellectually challenging reads. Had I paid for these books, I would have been even more disappointed. I would not recommend spending money on this series.
I am giving each book one star. Had the series gradually improved, I probably would have landed somewhere around 1.5–2 stars overall. Unfortunately, the things that annoyed me in Book 1 did not disappear or improve. In many cases, they became more pronounced and more irritating.
For readers who love the immersive world-building and character development of authors such as Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, Matt Dinniman, Leigh Bardugo, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Neil Gaiman, and She Who Is a TERF and Shall Not Be Named, this series may be especially painful to get through.
I do not recommend these books. I am posting the same review on each installment because my criticism applies to the series as a whole. And yes, I listened to all 8.5 books, fueled almost entirely by sheer, unadulterated hope that the next book, or eventually the series as a whole, would somehow get better.
It did not.
So Much Potential, So Little Done With It
The premise had the potential to be fantastic. A magical library filled with dangerous artifacts? A tiny dragon sidekick? Supernatural mysteries and adventures? Sign me up.
Unfortunately, that promising idea is buried beneath stagnant plots, underdeveloped characters, lackluster world-building, simplistic and repetitive writing, and an increasingly formulaic storyline.
Instead of becoming more immersive as the series progresses, the books recycle the same handful of conflicts, jokes, character traits, and plot devices over and over again.
Eight and a Half Books With Very Little Growth
This entire 8.5-book series could probably have been condensed into three well-written, immersive books with stronger character development, tighter plotting, better world-building, and significantly less filler.
The writing is simplistic and painfully repetitive. The same descriptions, adjectives, mannerisms, jokes, phrases, reactions, and conflicts are recycled so often that they become distracting. Why expand the vocabulary or find a new way to describe something when the same one or two descriptors can apparently carry you through eight books?
The library puns also wear out their welcome quickly. I like a good pun. I do not need eight books of them.
But the repetition goes far beyond the prose. The biggest problem with this series is that nothing meaningfully changes.
I can forgive a flawed protagonist. I can forgive an inexperienced protagonist. I can forgive characters making terrible decisions.
What I cannot forgive across an eight-book series is characters who repeatedly make the same mistakes without ever meaningfully learning from them.
Paige begins immature, reckless, argumentative, clumsy, and inexperienced. Eight books later, she is still immature, reckless, argumentative, and clumsy, and somehow behaves as though most of her previous experiences never happened.
Dewey begins sarcastic and irritating. Eight books later, he is sarcastic and more irritating.
The plot begins formulaic. It stays formulaic.
The world begins shallow. Throwing more creatures, magical objects, portals, curses, and supernatural problems into it does not make it deeper.
That's not character development. That's hitting the reset button at the beginning of every book.
And that's what makes the series so frustrating: there really was a good story buried in here somewhere. A magical library protecting dangerous artifacts is a genuinely fun premise. With tighter writing, stronger world-building, actual character growth, less repetitive banter, and about five fewer books, this could have been an entertaining and immersive cozy fantasy adventure.
Instead, I finished all 8.5 books because I had already come this far and kept thinking, Surely this gets better.
It did not.
Paige Is a 34-Year-Old Woman Who Acts About 13
Paige is supposedly a competent, intelligent, 34-year-old professional woman who becomes a super-special magical librarian.
Unfortunately, she has the emotional maturity of a spoiled middle-schooler.
She throws fits. She pouts. She whines. She cries. She stomps her feet. She bickers with literally everyone. Her reactions are so wildly disproportionate that there were times she seemed less like a woman in her mid-30s and more like an overtired toddler who had just been told she couldn't have a cookie.
I have three daughters. None of them were ever as whiny, immature, or ridiculous as Paige.
And this isn't simply an early character flaw designed to give her room to grow.
That's the problem.
She doesn't grow.
The same behavior continues book after book after book.
Paige Is Also DUMB
And I mean capital D.U.M.B.
This is especially frustrating because the story repeatedly tells us Paige is intelligent, capable, increasingly experienced, and uniquely qualified for her magical role.
Her actions tell us something entirely different.
Nearly every book follows some variation of the same pattern:
Paige receives information or a warning. Paige ignores it. Paige makes an obviously terrible decision. Paige ends up in a dangerous or life-threatening situation because of that decision. Paige escapes through some combination of dumb luck, someone rescuing her, or an incredibly convenient solution.
Then she does it again.
And again.
And again.
Repeat seven or eight times, end the book, and start the exact same cycle in the next one.
Her recurring incompetence never turns into mastery. Despite supposedly gaining experience, she continues ignoring explanations, walking into obvious traps, failing to communicate critical information, and behaving recklessly in situations where she absolutely should know better by now.
Eventually, it becomes difficult to believe this woman should be trusted with a library card, much less magical artifacts capable of destroying the world.
And then there's the clumsiness.
Good grief, the clumsiness.
We get it. Paige is awkward.
But seriously, how many times can one person's glasses fly off their face and leave them practically blind because they tripped over something?
What starts as a quirky character trait becomes another joke beaten so thoroughly into the ground that I wanted to bury it there permanently.
Dewey Somehow Gets More Annoying, Too
Paige's "partner," Dewey, is a teacup-sized dragon whose character arc appears to have been built around the challenge of making him progressively meaner and more insulting toward Paige.
The two of them bicker constantly.
And I mean constantly.
Their exchanges can go on for pages. Paige says something. Dewey makes a sarcastic comment. Paige gets offended. Dewey doubles down. Paige tells him to stop. Dewey says something else. Paige snaps back.
Repeat indefinitely.
Archie Bunker would eventually tell these two to knock it off.
The sarcasm stops being funny very early because the "snark" keeps circling the same handful of arguments. Instead of witty banter between characters who genuinely care about one another, they frequently sound like two people who simply cannot stand each other.
Most stories use a sidekick or secondary character to complement the protagonist, offer another perspective, contribute a useful skill, or help drive the story forward.
Dewey mostly exists to screw up magical concoctions, insult Paige, make sarcastic comments, and behave as though he's intellectually superior to everyone around him.
After eight books, I still couldn't tell you why these two supposedly enjoy spending time together.
Every Fantasy Creature Ever Invented Apparently Lives Here
The world-building is another enormous missed opportunity.
Rather than choosing a smaller number of supernatural creatures, magical systems, cultures, or threats and developing them into something interesting, it feels like the author looked up "List of Fantasy Creatures" and started checking boxes.
Dragons? Sure.
Vampires? Throw them in.
Witches? Obviously.
Ghosts? Why not?
Time travel? Absolutely.
Portals? Yep.
Some other supernatural creature we haven't used yet? Toss that in too.
Instead of making the world feel expansive, it makes it feel random.
There is an enormous difference between building a rich fantasy world and simply filling one with fantasy things.

Oh my goodness, Dewey, SHUT UP!
That's exactly how I felt throughout the last three books in the series.
Did I enjoy the story line? Absolutely. It was refreshingly clean and cozy; a true palate cleanser series. The story line was executed well and kept me intrigued. I would actually recommend this series to anyone in a reading slump, looking for a lighthearted, easy read.
However, the incessant bantering between the female lead and her "snarky" sidekick was borderline disheartening. Several lines of their bickering could have easily been omitted and the story would still have been just as good.

I liked the premise of having to go to other worlds which are the author's other series.
I really really really really don't like how all the characters are one dimensional. There is no character growth for any of them.
Paige & Dewey (2 main characters) act more like they don't like each other than the "best friends" they say they are.

Ok book 7 had me ready to get my HEA and character growth. Instead we got more bickering, crazy plots (book inside other Nellie H. Steele books?!?!?), and no really plot forwards. Her mother is alive but still in a coma. We got no backstory as to who the heck Paige's father is (still mad there). Was I supposed to read other Nellie H. Steele books to understand this? Because if so I haven't. This last book was almost like she was forced to complete an 8 book series, ran out of juice and decided to tell her publishing team eff you and just make a whole joke out of the series. It was like I was reading an inside joke to herself and her publisher. I lost the point of the plot, the caring where we go. I just finished reading it to finish since at this point I am already 8 books in. But I am severely disappointed. I knew I should have stopped at book 2 or 3 where the plot started to get stagnate. I only have myself to blame.

If I hadn't purchased the omnibus of this series I would have dnfed after book 3 or 4. The characters constantly arguing is so annoying. Dewey spends most of the time either putting his friend and partner down about her looks or her lack of knowledge. Instead of teaching her about the magical world he just tells her how stupid she is CONSTANTLY. He brags about how good he is at alchemy yet messes up every single potion. He says that he cares about her yet when she is reasonably upset or DYING he belittles her or seems indifferent. Also he likes pointing out the obvious. There is zero character growth and all the characters are one-dimensional. This last book was so meh that I fell asleep three times listening to it. I really wish I could have the 36 hours of listening time back..

These have so much potential. They remind me of ‘The Librarian’ TV movies. But…….
When I Google searched these books Google said they did not use foul language, but it often uses “what the he**”, “OMG”, “D*mmit”, “sh**”. The books would have been so much better without this language.
But I'm also taking stars because there is so much filler that is not needed, it is really flustering actually and I just want to scream when are we going to get back to the actual story!
The two main characters Page, and Dewey, are really annoying!!
Honestly, I would not have kept reading if I wasn't curious about what happened to Reed (Page’s mother). It was also an included read on Audible so thank goodness I didn't actually spend money on these.

Somehow this was the weakest of all the stories, trying to tie up everything in a neat bow, which didn't really work for me; especially, as it felt like simply a reason to introduce characters from her other books to get readers to read those. Some of the tropes carried through all the books, like Paige being a bumbling useless idiot when every situation was usually resolved through her out-of-the-box thinking was painful the longer the story went on, as was the fact that she was blamed for not knowing things that she had not had a chance to learn. Some of the writing was repetitive and could have done with a thesaurus. I continued despite all that because I liked the story itself.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
Wow this is a fast paced magical adventure that will keep you reading even when you know that you have things to do.
The characters have become so familiar over the series that I feel sad that it is now over.
I recommend this book and the whole series as it’s a really good read with magical twists and turns.

Poor last book to a great series. This final book had so much potential but I feel like she ruined it by bringing herself (Nellie h Steele) into the story and making all think they were book characters written by her and not real. Ruined the book for me. Also could have had more in the ending about what happened with her and Devon.

Uff, chtěla jsem to "dodělat", dočíst to do konce, ale musela jsem se hodně nutit. Taková slátanina. Asi to nebyl nejhorší díl ze všech, ono to tak nějak konstantně stagnovalo, ale k některým knihám jsem byla shovívavější, takže tomuhle slavnému trapnému finále nadržovat nebudu. Že já si radši nepustím tu Annu Kareninu... :)

Weird, but fun
I have never read such a strange series, but it was lots of fun with plenty of imagination. I especially enjoyed the way this last book tied together several series of the author’s books. I am going to miss these quirky characters!

Great series love it!
This was a great end to the series! I was sad it ended, then surprise! Another series, starts February 25, 2027. Book one of 2. I realized these quirky and interesting characters really grew on me. So grateful it will continue. Brilliant!

I loved this series but was really bummed by how it ended. we spent 8 books trying to find Reed for is not to be able to see her and Page hey to interact much.

Best in the series but wish there was more to come
September 7, 2026
Read only because I'd read the other books. They got worse with each new book written. Best part of this book was it is the last of the series.
June 28, 2026
This was my least favorite of the series. I absolutely do not like it when authors write themselves into their stories. I just think it's a little narcissistic. In addition to talking about herself in this book, the author also shamelessly promoted her other books which is, in my opinion, in poor taste. More than that though, I disliked how rushed the ending felt. For all the melodramatics of the series, in the end, the only component character captured the bad guy off screen. No dramatic monologue about why he did it. No big confrontation between the villain and the person he kidnapped for 34 years. Nothing. It just ends.
