However, The Left-Handed Booksellers of London definitely put a new twist on some old ideas, and I appreciated its fresh perspective. I’ve backed off of a lot of fantasy novels lately because so much of the worldbuilding feels like every other fantasy novel I’ve read. However, Susan doesn’t get much of a choice – for some reason, the supernatural world is hunting her down, and she is beginning to suspect that it has something to do with the father that she has never met. Susan isn’t particularly interested in getting involved in the world of the booksellers, even if she is attracted to the charismatic Merlin, a left-handed bookseller who first rescued her from monsters and pulled her into his world. The Left-Handed Booksellers of London is an urban fantasy novel about Susan, a young woman preparing for college who is suddenly swept up into the magical world of the booksellers – an ancient, magical group who run bookstores by day and battle supernatural beings by night.
