Set in the world of The Midnight Library – when your life flashes before your eyes, where would you stop?
Firstly, whilst this is set in the world of The Midnight Library, it’s very much a standalone novel with similar themes and a different setting and ideas. It’s The Midnight Train and once you board and pick up this book, you won’t be able to stop reading it – such is the power of Matt Haig’s writing.
Whilst I loved and adored The Midnight Library, this book had my heart even more, particularly as it took me a while to warm to the main character, Wilbur. He was prickly and his decisions… well… I’ll let you read the book to find out more about those! But as much he was frustrating, he was so cleverly written that he was also endearing, and hard to let go of.
Once again a beautiful story of loss, love, life, death and books – written in such a way that you can relate on so many levels, or if not, enjoy a beautiful story with a touch of magic.
