The Spellbook Library Volume One

Uta Isaki

The story starts off with two strangers meeting on the way to the exam to work at the spellbook library.
During this time they learn a bit about each other. One is trying to be more than some one who is seen as a bully and one who is trying to see and experience the outside world, one of witch they have only read about in books. Both have more to them than what it appears on the outside.

The start of the exam feels very much like the start of the HunterXHutnter exams. A large group of people have been gathered to compete in the exam ( about 500) and only one out of every 50 will be hired (10 in total). The exam is a riddle of sorts. The princess is the head of PR for the library and is also the one conducting the exams. She adds alot more to the story line that a normal royal or princess character usually would in a “work place” of sorts story. You can see that the story will really be based around these three characters. The story ends with them going up against something they were not expecting and need to handle immediately.

This book will have you hooked and waiting for more. I cant wait to see what the princess has up her sleeve and see what is really going on with our shy boy who has been held up in his manor his whole life.
