A review by cooperca
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
5.0
Loved this! Loved this to no end! You had me at Liberian spy. You had me at alternate universes. You had me at werwolves, vampires, faes, and dragons, oh my. A little bit of magic, a little bit of Doctor Who, a little bit of kick ass heroine and a little bit of uncontrolled chaos.
Throughly enjoyed each character, from the quick-thinking but sometimes insecure Irene, to her fiery sidekick Kai, to the mass list of villains. The battles ("And at that moment the alligators burst into the room."), the intrigue, and the mystery of where is/who has the stolen book kept me glued to the book. A fun and easy read that has me salivating at getting my hands on the next book in the series. A definite must read.
"We want books. We love books. We live with books. Someone who joined the Library just so that they could try to use the Library to benefit their own world...well, I suppose it would be ethical, but it isn't the purpose of the Library." - quote from Irene (p.184)
