The Burning Page is the third book in The Invisible Library series. Genevieve Cogman creates a Universe where worlds can be accessed by “doors” controlled by the Library. But the worlds tend to be influenced by the Fae (Chaos and Magic) or the Dragons (Order and Reason). The Library is supposed to be neutral but shifting alliances are always possible. The main character in The Invisible Library series is Irene Winter. Irene is a young, feisty Librarian who frequently gets into trouble on her missions to retrieve rare books from various worlds. Irene is mentoring a Dragon named Kai which causes all kinds of complications. In this instance, the Library is under attack by a renegade Librarian named Alberich who has gathered Fae supporters to assist in his attack. Only a mis-timed romantic scene between Irene and Vale (a Sherlock Holmes character) mars the action. If you’re looking for a light diversion, read The Burning Page. My reviews of The Invisible Library and The Masked City can be found here and here. GRADE: B
Of course, I still haven’t read the first two yet.
Jeff, the Invisible Library series is fun and entertaining. All three volumes are Quick Reads.
sounds interesting. Sounds also like it would be a very good SYFY series.
Maggie, SYFY should explore filming the Invisible Library series. Very entertaining!
The only thing we watch on SyFy is Face Off. Though The Expanse is tempting.
Rick, Bill Crider was lukewarm on THE EXPANSE. But I like the SF novels.
What Jeff said.
Rick, the Invisible Library series is fluff, but it’s fun fluff!
I have the first book. I thought Jeff recommended it to me but, given the comment above, it may have been Jackie.
Haven’t read it yet but am “aware” of it – which means it’s not buried in a pile but something I see frequently.
Hopefully I’ll get to it in retirement.
Beth, the Invisible Library books are perfect Retirement reading! Quick and easy!
love the aware of comment. I always leave my cabinet doors open, as I have to see things to remember I have them.
Maggie, like you and Beth, I have to have helpful “stacks” too keep me organized on what I’m supposed to read next.
I love face off as well, Rick. I missed the first 3 shows of the first season, and need to see if it is on netflix
