On the surface this book has so many cool things I like. The magical ability to pull things out of any book and have them work! A secret society, librarians keeping track of the books and what they contain, locking books that are just too dangerous. A protagonist in the manner of Harry Dresden. Vampires and dryads. And yet, reading these reviews I can see I'm not the only one who was unimpressed in the end. The characters were flat, the dialogue not that witty, and I just couldn't get excited about a fire spider. I finished it; it's not at all a bad book, but just not exciting.
