The Lost Plot by Genevieve Cogman
5.0
This one was sooo good it hurts not to have more adventures of Irene Winters (or Jeanette Smith, or whatever other name she chooses to use in each world) to read. Yet. I have seen there is one in progress, but no cover nor tittle yet. So I'll investigate as soon as I finish writing this.
Irene is a sworn Librarian to the Library, and that makes her a spy and a thief in a way because she visits different worlds collecting books to stabilize the whole set of worlds.
There are worlds of chaos (more fae oriented) and worlds of order (dragon oriented) and humans live in almost all, sometimes just props to the whim of the fae who use them in their need for stories.
In this case, Irene visits the NYC of the 20s with all the mafia and the alcohol and the dress code.
It is one of my favorites from the year and will probably the whole set will be one of my favorite series in years to come too. I adore Genevieve Cogman, her imagination and her characters, her world building and her love of books. I am forever grateful to have read it and will reread again and again. But you know, it's never the same when you reread a book,
