"I understand that for $25 MSRP this is about the amount of pieces you get in a LEGO set, but it's not quite adequate as a library or an addition to the Fortex as it is. It should have been at least twice as big. With that being said, there's nothing stopping you from combining two of them. This would allow you to increase the size of the walls, make two towers, or just improve the existing tower. You can get creative with how you arrange it. With three sets you might even be able to create a proper castle. It's actually kind of fun to imagine the best way to go about doing that kind of thing, but of course, your money could probably just be spent on a better set to begin with. Your first order of business if you like castles would be to get the Fortrex.
I do like the exclusive girl minifig that comes with set. Her hair piece is well done. Women in NEXO Knights seem to be a little too scarce."
"This set has a super nifty small vehicle on Jestro's side and probably the snazziest rendition of Lance until his ultimate debuts in a few months! Despite its elegant design the structure is a bit underwhelming, those short outer walls leaving a little something to be desired. Perhaps not the most impressive of the line in its price range, but nevertheless a great addition to any Nexo Knights collection and an especially nice complement to The Fortrex."
"Merlok's Library 2.0 is a Nexo Knights set that I found disappointing. The walls are very low and the library has virtually no depth whatsoever. The whole structure is centered on the main tower. This tower is three stories tall and, ironically, only has one book. The bottom floor is mainly just a spot to fire a disc shooter. The second level has one book and a feature where you can pop out part of the assembly. The final level is more like a roof and you can place a minifig or two up there. Two symmetrical technic pieces are used to hold together all these levels but are completely exposed. I feel like these holes should have been patched with a large 1 by 15 blue tile piece on each. The minifigures in this set are good with Ava (exclusive), Lance, and one of Jestro's monsters. Crust Smasher (the monster) isn't all that exciting but I love the vehicle he's given. As a final note, this set can be connected with the fortrex. My overall opinion towards the set is that it's poor. The set has no depth (barely enough space for one minifig on each level) and the walls are ridiculously low. The exposed technic pieces on the back are unattractive and this "library" only contains one book. I think it's strange that this set is even called a "library" because the definition of library on google search is "a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for people to read, borrow, or refer to." I think this set could have been a lot better and it would have been perfectly fine if the price was raised slightly if it improved the "library." I think the reason the design came out this way was because the design was made to accommodate its connection to the fortrex. Don't purchase this set, it is not worth the money!"
