This is one of my long loved series and I willl forever love it, no matter what Irene does.
Irene Winters (yes playing with names, Irene Addler and Mss de Winters) and playing with archtypes and magic and books and libraries. It has everything I love and a campy exterior, that doesn't take itself too much serious but adresses interesting matters.
Loved it and will probably read it once and again. The ending leaves with a door open to a new book, but the author has anounced a new series that I'm all eager to read.

As always this was such fun to read! There's some revealtions that I spied earlier in the series finally coming to fruition, and of course some further conspiracies and intrigue laid out to come. That epilogue has me eagerly awaiting the next installment!
