Hi Cara,
I have read book 5 and 6 of the Invisible Library series and thought it was about time that I started at the beginning.
Irene must be at the top of her game or she’ll be off the case – permanently…
Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, which harvests fiction from different realities. And along with her enigmatic assistant Kai, she’s posted to an alternative London. Their mission – to retrieve a dangerous book. But when they arrive, it’s already been stolen. London’s underground factions seem prepared to fight to the very death to find her book.
Adding to the jeopardy, this world is chaos-infested – the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic. Irene’s new assistant is also hiding secrets of his own.
Soon, she’s up to her eyebrows in a heady mix of danger, clues and secret societies. Yet failure is not an option – the nature of reality itself is at stake.

The Invisible Library is a great introduction to this multiverse world.
The Invisible Library is one of the fictional jobs that I would love to do. It was great finding out more about the Library, how they alter world work and why the library doesn’t interfere with the evolution of the other worlds.
One of my favourite elements of The Invisible Library is Irene and Kai budding friendship/ work relationship. I really liked that Kai was froward with his attraction to Irene, and accepting her brush off. Normally you see in other books the characters beat around the bish but not here. I found it refreshing.
The plot of The Invisible Library is interesting and a great introduction to the world. I liked the mystery, intrigue and danger of this ‘simple’ mission. I liked figuring out who can and can’t be trusted, and why the mission isn’t as simple as originally thought.
The magic of the library is another aspect that I really enjoyed. The way in which the language has the ability to do anything with the right word choice and conditions.
Genevieve writing style is really easy to read, even when I put the book down It was easy to get back into the story.
My rating for The Invisible Library is 4.5 out of 5.
