Kui oleksin poolei jätnud, nagu vahepeal tundus, siis oleksin ühe pannud, aga kuna lugesin lõpuni, siis üldmulje kõvasti paranes. Samas polnud kahju käest panna ja järgi ilmselt ka ei loe.
Ma ei teagi, kas asi on selles, et ma ei armasta neid viktoriaanide aega säetud asju ja steampunki eriliselt ("Alaizabel Gray painaja" välja arvatud!).
Lugu polnud üldse halb ja tundub, et järjed võivad rohkem ulmekiri poole kalduda, kenasti oli vihjeid laiemale maailmale raamatukogude taga, mis edaspidi peaks rohkem lahti rulluma ja puha, aga ... tänan, ei.

if you love adventure, thrown in with time travel and dealing with the fae and a strong female lead character, you will greatly enjoy her books. I loved reading about Irene, Kai, Lord Silver, and the others. What a great thrill ride in reading these books. I hope to read more in the future, when she goes back to writing them.

Almost didn’t finish this one. The characters are interesting. The plot moves. I just never became invested. I don’t buy the whole premise of The Invisible Library.

If I had gone to high school with these characters, I’d love a 5 minute update about their lives every 5 years, but not interested in investing time to stay friends in-between reunions.

The pace was fast, the writing good, the premise excellent, when it hit the brakes in slow motion, disappointing starting in the middle and became an uncomfortable ride. Not recommended, no return.

Great action adventure, of a librarian. Dragons, Fae, traitors and interdimensional travel.

I’m thoroughly enjoying this series. I have completed the first five, and moving on to the rest. Irene is an unwilling but effective heroine in this fantasy series.

Very fun series although I could tell some key plot points a couple of books before she confirmed them.

Fun adventure fiction!

The second in The Invisible Library series.

It was fine, but didn’t grab me as much as Book 1 did.

Still well worth a read…

I've read the whole series, and found them all great! An invisible library that connects to alternate realities of Earth, including different times--and time doesn't really change in the library. Adventure, mystery. They are all great!
