The fact this is calling an archive ‘the arcane wing’ and an archivist an ‘arcanist’ is making my eye twitch.
The words exist. You don’t need to *add* the witchy vibes. Talk to any archivist - the vibes are already there.

Okay, so the reason this book (and the first in the series) annoys me is I am theoretically at odds with it. It argues books exist as their own entities, some sort of holy, ideal state, which cannot and should not change.
For me, all stories - visual, literary, oral - only come into existence through an author-reader dialogue. All readers change stories.
Read some R/R theory, FFS. And some John Barth.
