Oh, this book is fun. It's founded on the magic in a love of books - immersing yourself into an imaginary world until it feels real and tangible. In this world, a libriomancer magician can reach into a book and pull things out: a magic sword, a healing potion, a snappy hat. Isaac is a libriomancer, and of course something has gone terribly wrong and he has to dive in and prevent a magical war that will destroy the world. He has a great dryad side-kick, who saves the day again and again. The books that he uses in his magic are all over the map, and all the references to them cheer the heart of a reader. Who knew that the popularity of vampire books would cause so much trouble?! The humor is wonderful; I was driving my husband nuts by laughing out loud, and then not telling him what the joke, to not spoil it for him.
