This was absolutely the best fun Ive had with a book in ages. Brilliant characters, magical world building and a whole load of adventure.Irene is sent into one alternate London to retrieve a dangerous book shadowed by new assistant Kai, this mission is anything but straightforward and what follows is a rip roaring race to find the book, involving Vampires, Werewolves, Fai and, well, alligators.I absolutely adore the world the author has created here it is a brilliant mix of mundane and magic,2019 Re-readWhen life gets complicated, my reading needs simplify. Ms. Cogmans Invisible Library series had seen me through a challenging week. Our February here in Alberta was a bitterly cold one, and it has seen a lot of frozen water pipes as the frost went deeper than usual. Just before the Easter weekend, there was a water main break as the result of frozen, split pipes on the road just outside my building. Hauling water from a tank on the street to my apartment became a several-times-a-day
Public Service Announcement: This book is not Steampunk. It's Fantasy.Liked it, but am not a fan of the narrator for the audiobook. She did ok, and her voice is pleasant enough, but she reads in a breathy style with inflections that seemed wrong sometimes. I got used to it though.

Plus, there's that cover. I gave it a shot and am pleased with how it went. Like a
I am a librarian. I am a servant of the Library. With great ideas, comes great responsibility. Said no comic book character ever, but probably should have. Think about it as an avid reader. You see a book cover that looks gorgeous, you turn it around and read the summary and it tells you the story of a young woman, working for a secret library that recovers books from alternate realities. Add a Doctor Who comparison to the mix and you have one of the most interesting sounding books in a sort of
3.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2016/06/09/...Speaking as someone who loves to read, I just cant help but get these warm fuzzy feelings for books about libraries. After all, what could be better for an avid bookworm, than being immersed in a story about a place filled with books, books, and more books?Well, Genevieve Cogmans The Invisible Library does one even better.Oh, this book has libraries, all rightinterdimensional libraries, established across multiple
