[Series Overview] The Great Library - Rachel Caine

I started this series on: September 6, 2016

Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts As I struggled to decide which book series to cover overviews for, it dawned to me that I'd never get started at this rate. It became clear to me that, it's rather unlikely for me to use this blog as my "main" reviewing spot since I have Goodreads for that, and chances of someone miraculously stumbling across this blog out of the countless ones out there, is just rather slim, therefore, I'd put up links to my GR reviews (in English,) and this post would be in Chinese for people who are curious about the series but either aren't comfortable with or just don't prefer reading in English. Please also note that, sometimes I don't have time to write actual reviews, HOWEVER, I do always put down thoughts when I document my reading status updates, so for GR desktop users, remember to scroll down if it appears to contain little, it'd be under the quotes I liked from that book (when applicable lol;) for mobile app users, remember to switch to "Reading Activity," which would not be the default as "Review" is.

The actual review is, as usual, WIP, but like I said above, getting the post out there first.

Français | French | 法文 （電子書）


點上方連結至GR版本頁面可能會看到不同的封面（至少網誌更新的當下是這樣），推斷是因為GR還正在白目中xP 電子版正確的封面確實應該是我上面附的這個版本，但是自2019年開始，網站上由Amazon import進來的資料，常常會把紙本跟電子版弄成同一頁，可能是這樣才出了狀況。（但也不一定是因為這樣就是了。）不是很有趣的封面，但至少不一樣嗯。我最後一次看的時候，連出版社公布的紙本第五集也是搭這版封面，如果之後有改成與其餘風格一致的，就會再更新加上來囉～


русский | Russian | 俄文


我等不到GR館員幫忙修正了～也不等GR頁面了！點進去東西不完整的話，不是我沒送出請求，是沒人有興趣幫忙編輯，只能說我已經盡力囉～我覺得這版本封面可以說超嚇死人的中肯，個人覺得最不貼近的甚至是第一集😂覺得看起來太沈穩了😝其他的都跟我想像中差不多那樣。封面由俄裔繪師Elena Rudman繪製^{[繪師Instagram][繪師Bēhance]}。

別看GR上這系列頁面列了五本書，這是四部曲沒錯喔w 最早究竟是何時宣佈會有companion standalone作品，抱歉2022年10月開始我真的被RL壓榨到沒注意到（更早的話大概就是純粹沒留意到），但作者2022/11/3的時候有分享消息^{[作者Twitter文]}（預計是2023年8月上市）。

我其實有點訝異這部沒半集入圍Goodreads Choice Awards... 並不是說覺得超級好看，但是，我會接觸到這系列，就是因為它當時在GR上打廣告打得超兇！第三集要出來的時候真的狂打（我唯一有看到別的如此高調宣傳的只有SoM呢！）真的以為忙都幫成這樣了，會好歹列入提名再讓它自生自滅（喂）。老樣子其餘有空補w

這系列我其實本來覺得就要靠台灣^{[繁體中文Goodreads頁面1][2]}出齊才有望能發文，然後感覺等不到了... 沒想到竟然等到美國重出新封面！不過還是希望台灣能試著出完啦，難得那麼可愛的封面耶！😭

American English | 美式英文



American English | 美式英文 （2023平裝）

出版社2022年12月公佈了四部曲和新書（"Rook"）的封面相配的新版本^{[Algonquin Young Readers Twitter文]}！封面由Corey Brickley^{[繪師Bēhance][繪師事務所作品集頁面]}繪製，可參考繪師分享的細節^{[繪師Twitter文]}～嗚，我個人覺得原版相當美的冒泡，這版，用色會讓我TLC新平裝封面，很搶眼但就這系列來說，我覺得不能說很符合他時空背景帶給我的感覺啦。不管怎樣，還是很恭喜有重出的機會，希望台灣也被刺激一下啊！
