My Review:
*I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Usborne Publishing and NetGalley*
Ash Yang's home-world is at war, and she has been working towards becoming a starfighter pilot to help.
When Ash fails the final test, her dream is left in tatters.
However, Ash is offered the unique position of Guardian of the Infinity Files. As Guardian, Ash travels to distant planets, returning or taking important objects that could change the future of worlds.
Will Ash be happy being Guardian?
The premise for this book intrigued me, but it ended up falling a bit flat, unfortunately.
Ash was a likeable and relatable protagonist who hadn't had an easy life. At times it did seem like Ash was a bit of a bull in a China shop with the way she didn't think before she acted, but I liked that she wanted to help people.
The concept of the Library and Guardians was interesting, and I wouldn't mind finding out more about previous Guardians.
The plot was enjoyable to begin with, but I did lose interest in the second half. I didn't feel particularly invested in what was happening. I was surprised by one plot point, but nothing else really caught me off guard.
I'm a little disappointed that I didn't enjoy this more, but it didn't reach its potential for me.
Overall, this was a mixed read.
