I was a little disappointed.
I loved previous books and to be honest I didn't expect another one because the story was very nicely finished, the bad guy defeater, everyone is happy -ish. So this release was a nice and unexpected surprise that left me disappointed and wishing I didn't read it.
What I'm trying to say, its a good book. The story is interesting and it is well written. The characters are still true to their natures and the story is interesting. But there is a BIG but!
I would not have this as a continuation of the Invisible Library series and have it as a separate thing. It was so disjointed from the original plot that anyone could pick it up without reading previous books and be just fine. I was expecting more, and didn't get it. I wanted answers and didn't get any. I wanted some serious relationship drama or something from Kai and Irene and didn't get any. The fact that the whole thing happened over 3-4 days felt a bit rushed. I might be a little harsh but then the previous books set the standard quite high.

Being away from this world for so long, did make it hard to jump back in. I had to find the groove of it again, but once I did I had a fantastic time. It has a good mystery to it with a conclusion I honestly did not see coming.
We of course have more mentions of our big bad (is he gone or isn't he?) and the romance does move forward, but it isn't highlighted, as usual.
This world and the characters really are the best at sweeping me away to different worlds. I'm really excited for the next books :D

Before publication:
I don't even need to know what this is about to be overly excited to read it. The last book has left me feeling so many emotions and I will be overjoyed to jump back into this series when this book comes out.
