The Invisible Library - Genevieve Cogman

3 1/2 stars

The Invisible Library is a book about Irene, an agent of a powerful, magical, library that exists between all of the worlds in the metaverse. Irene's mission is to collect books from the different worlds so that the library can add them to its vast collection. Often, these missions are easy, but sometimes they involve grand adventures. In this book, Irene and her student are tasked with retrieving a collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales from one such world. What at first seems like a straightforward mission becomes very complicated when it turns out that many different factions are after the same book.

This was a fun book to read. The world building was interesting and well done. The characters were fun to route for, each with their own share of secrets to discover. There were a lot of action/battle scenes in this book, which are not really my cup of tea. But if you do like fun battles with interesting creatures and weapons, this could be the book for you. Overall it is a promising start to a series with some good characters with the potential to develop as the series continues.

I just started this book today. I've heard the series gets better as it progresses. I felt the sane about Rachel Caine's Great Library series which I ended up really enjoying.

Plus, it fits two Pursue prompts!
