Robin Sloan, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

This book falls in the just okay category for me. I liked the earlier part of the story, when our hero, Clay Jannon (whose name I had to look up despite just finishing the book, which suggests something about my level of commitment to it), gets a job at Penumbra's store and begins to realize how weird it is: Odd characters drop in, and the store is more lending library than profitable business.

But then it all turns into an unlikely quest that I ultimately didn't care very much about, with a bunch of characters that I also never really cared about. So it was okay, but not a memorable read for me.
