Carolyn's Reviews > The Burning Page

I really love this series! It has the perfect mix of fantasy and humour with infinite alternative worlds, a Sherlock Holmes-like character, wily fae, handsome dragons and best of all a witty, feisty librarian who rescues rare books from dangerous situations.

Genevieve Cogman really has created a wonderful Universe of alternative worlds where anything can happen depending on the amount of chaos and order in that world. That the Invisible Library, where rare books are collected for preservation by daring field librarians, can connect with any library on any world, is a stroke of genius and allows for plenty of adventure.
In this third novel of the series librarian Irene discovers a plot by the Library's arch enemy Alberich, an ex librarian himself gone rogue, who wants to take over control of the Library or he will destroy it. Irene and her assistant Kai, a dragon in human form, must find him and thwart his plan before too many more librarians are killed. Irene and Kai are such delightful characters with a wonderful relationship - Irene strong willed and willing to rush into danger while Kai wants only to protect her and is always pulling her out of dangerous situations. The secondary characters are also wonderful and developing strongly along with the series. Highly recommended for all lovers of quality fantasy.
