THE MORTAL WORD is the fifth
book in The Invisible Library series. I've read every single book in the series and I could not
wait to read this book. Irene's job is to steal rare books from different
worlds for the Invisible Library. She loves her job, the adventures, the
books. After a job in Germany, Irene learns about a secret Dragon-Foe
peace conference that the Library is overseeing. But when a high-
ranking Dragon is murdered, the peace talks come to a halt. Irene and
her friend, private detective Vale, are ordered to go to 1890s Paris and
investigate the murder and find out who killed the dragon, and why?
The Invisible Library series
is such an awesome series. How can you not enjoy reading books about
a library that collects rare books from different dimensions? The
previous book, BOOK,
was not my favorite, but I'm happy to say that THE MORTAL WORD was a wonderful read. I enjoyed
having Vale back in the game! If you like Sherlock Holmes, then you will
like Vale. And, Irene, as always, is a fabulous character. She's always in
trouble, but through it all, she finds a way to solve the mystery, save
the Library's reputation, and on top of all of that, save her parents'
lives!
THE MORTAL WORD is one of the
strongest books in the series and I can't wait for the next book to be
published!
In the latest novel in Genevieve Cogman’s historical
fantasy series, the fate of worlds lies in the balance. When
a dragon is murdered at a peace conference, time-travelling
Librarian spy Irene must solve the case to keep the balance
between order, chaos…and the Library.
When Irene returns to London after a relatively
straightforward book theft in Germany, Bradamant informs her
that there is a top secret dragon-Fae peace conference in
progress that the Library is mediating, and that the
second-in-command dragon has been stabbed to death. Tasked
with solving the case, Vale and Irene immediately go to
1890s Paris to start their investigation.
Once they arrive, they find evidence suggesting that the
murder victim might have uncovered proof of treachery by one
or more Librarians. But to ensure the peace of the
conference, some Librarians are being held as hostages in
the dragon and Fae courts. To save the captives, including
her parents, Irene must get to the bottom of this murder—but
was it a dragon, a Fae, or even a Librarian who committed
the crime?
