We follow Fiona Thorne who is what is known as a Turner (she can move between different worlds, by turning a page in the Book) and an investigator. We start with her tracking a lead for a smuggler who has been smuggling different creatures out of pages and keeping them somewhere. She follows him home, and as she had already tipped of a friend who works for The Guild (Turners who keep things in some kind of order) she makes sure that she is around the action when they arrest the smuggler.
She comes across a fire elemental who she frees from a jar, and after the arrest of the smuggler, she offers to take the fire elemental and the other smuggler fire creatures back to their home page. Once there, the fire elemental asks if it can stay with Fiona and goes home with her. Fiona names it Soots and from there a friendship forms, which unfolds nicely throughout the book. Fiona also makes friends with other creatures that she comes across, and as someone who normally works alone and doesn’t tend to have many friends, this is growth for her and it shows.
I loved reading this book, it was the perfect amount of fantasy mixed with mystery as Fiona tries to solve the case that she has been given. I did have a bit of an inkling about the end, but I did still second guess myself until the very moment that it happened.
The only thing that did baffle me sometimes was a bit of the terminology and trying to remember what was meant by certain terms around how Fiona moved through the pages, maybe some kind of reference would have been useful to have.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have already signed up to the newsletter to gain access to the novella in order to find out what happened to Fiona before this novel started! I hope that there are more books in this series as I would love to find out what the Druid means at the end of the book!
