Irene is usually trying to steal one book or another from some world but now she needs to steal something much larger to get the book she needs and she has some new hinderanceshelpers for the task. It is one of the smarter series I read and I’m always interested in what new shenanigans Irene and associates are going to get into. I’ve enjoyed the invisible library series so far. You can also see a different joint review done with Anne at Books of My Heart A pity, but at one point I may revisit and read book 7 or just re-read the first 3 instalments when I am in the mood.Ĥ.5 'He who controls the present controls that past' Stars
The well-recognisable cliches failed to divert me.Īnyhow, I think this is the book that broke us. The similarities and references to James Bond books (and/or films) left me cold as well, simply because I do not care about James Bond books either. They are colleagues with benefits rather than lovers and as such. While I appreciate that Irene and Kai accept and respect each other and work well as a team, they have zero chemistry and no development. Which in a way makes sense from the author's/publisher's POV: why change a formula that works and that readers love? It's just me whose expectations changed.
I just felt that the series - despite some rather feeble attempts to develop Irene's background- just does not go anywhere. Maybe I was not in the mood for it because there were no big changes compared to the previous books. This instalment just failed to impress me in any way and finishing it was a chore. Even though I lost my original enthusiasm by books 4 and 5, I still enjoyed them. I do not exactly know what really happened, as I used to really love this series. I rarely leave a book unrated, but this is one of those instances. Their goal? The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, in a early twenty-first century world, where their toughest challenge might be each other.
But to get their reward, they will have to form a team, including a dragon techie, a Fae thief, a gambler, a driver, and the muscle. He swears that he will give each of them an item from his collection if they bring him the painting within the week.Įveryone takes the deal. Nemo has an offer for everyone there: he wants them to steal a specific painting from a specific world. Nemo’s remote Caribbean island and are invited to dinner, which includes unlikely company. No copies of the book are available in the Library, so her only choice is to contact a mysterious Fae information broker and trader of rare objects: Mr. The world where she grew up is in danger of veering deep into chaos, and she needs to obtain a particular book to stop this from happening. A Librarian’s work is never done, and once Irene has a quick rest after their latest adventure, she is summoned to the Library.
