It’s a page-turner, with excellent cliffhangers at the end of each chapter. I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of this book. Meanwhile, a clear but chilling warning from the Library alerts Irene to the presence of a dangerous nemesis-a former Librarian who turned his back on the Library and all it stands for. The book they’ve been sent to retrieve has already been stolen, and as Irene and her protégé Kai try to investigate, they get pulled deeper into this reality’s politics. Hot on the heels of returning from a stressful mission, Irene gets saddled with an apprentice and sent on a dangerous mission to an alternative Victorian London with vampires, werewolves, and Fae. Sometimes this means she is a spy and a thief, if the book is hard to come by. Irene is a Librarian, and her job is to acquire books from alternative realities for the Library. Genevieve Cogman understands how to take the premise of an interdimensional library and wrap it up in enough mystery and intrigue to keep a story going. Books about books and libraries are, of course, like catnip to a reader like me-yet at the same time, they can often be a letdown. This was a lot of fun in exactly the way I needed right now.
