The Midnight Library

A sojourn of a human to the multiverses through a library, which is as normal as this bizarre world without an exit to trap us there. Nora Seed might seed our mind with melancholy and heart with love in her quest for perfection. Can perfection be attained through the careful movement of the pawns in this deliberate game of life? Through the underlying current of sadness, this literature transcends us to a library between the universes with a librarian who is a mental metaphor that can be fathomed only by a few.
The library between life and death with a vagabond poacher through multiverses, who gave an open invitation to death and didn’t want to be preserved from death as she can’t decide how she wants to live.
The fact that the day never ends due to the never-ending light is like living one terminal day. It is exceptionally depressing for an already depressed person who decided to die by traveling with her best companion - solitude from a society so lonely owing to the detachment due to the extreme social media attachment.
Does life seem more attractive in the face of death? Is death the one that makes life beautiful? Is death an obligate parasite that wants to change the relationship to a symbiotic one with life?
Is the simplification of the three-dimensional worlds by humans making it more complicated?
Can a person cry due to sadness, smile due to the speck of light at the end of the tunnel, and be surprised due to the philosophical brilliance at the same time. The reading experience of this book gives us that unique experience.

“Aisles and aisles of bookshelves, reaching up to the ceiling and branching off from the broad open corridor. Books were everywhere. The shelves really did seem to go on forever, straight and long to the far off horizon. There were no title and names adorning the spines of the books.�

“This is the wrong life. It is really, really, really wrong. Take me back. I do want to avenge. Take me back to the library.
In the cosmic order of things, there is no rejection only redirecrtion.�

Do you read on Kindle or physical book? If it's a book, can I borrow from you, please?

I prefer physical books to e-books or audiobooks. But sadly, this book was out of stock in the indie bookstore near my place. So I listened to this book as an audiobook in audible.
I read this book last month and loved it. I completely agree with you, great review!

I'm also planning to read it next year soon.

Hey Dr. Appu, how exactly did you find this book? It's peculiarly interesting. I was hooked. Honestly I was tired when I was browsing through the reviews but paused just to read yours and I was mesmerised by what you picked up!Rare piece! I can't wait to read it
Regarding your review, need I praise you more? ;) You are one of a kind, and honestly I'm not stating this with the intention of praising. I am being factual.
I was reading your review with this music blaring through my ears-->
the review, the otherworldly content of the book and the ephemeral ambience created by this music came together like unreachable clouds high up in the air!
Thanks Sir :)
