I found Mac easy to relate to and loved her take no prisoners attitude. I like Mac “Mackenzie” and Schwab did a great job using flashbacks and memories to introducing us to Mac and her secret other half. She is the youngest “Keeper” in existence and it is her job to stop the Histories from waking up and crossing the boundaries between the living and the dead.
Mackenzie Bishop was brought into this world by her Da.The world is clearly drawn from the lowest level associate to the highest and I found it all refreshingly original and breathtaking. The secret society that cares for it all was intriguing. Schwab’s world-building was impressive and I loved the realm of the Archives, and the Narrows.I connected and wanted to know more about this secret world and the Histories. Schwab had me from page one with her prologue and flashbacks.Mini review: magical, mysterious and engaging. From the very first pages I found myself captivated by the author’s creative and unique tale. Archived offered up interesting characters and the fantastic secret world of the archives. The Archived by Victoria Schwab is the first in her fantasy series. In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. Da’s death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Being a Keeper isn’t just dangerous-it’s a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
