• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

While the overarching plot/plot twist reveal were interesting, and I'm glad for the happy ending, I think the motive behind it all was super weak and not 8 books worthy

This is the last in the eight-book Invisible Library series, and it hurts to say goodbye to characters I’ve come to love over many happy hours of reading. The series ends on a hopeful note, and we’re told that the author’s next project is a vampire trilogy. She may or may not return to the world of the Invisible Library. 

These books are about people who don’t just love books, they’ve designed their lives around books and are beyond obsession. Yet they’re so busy fighting the bad guys that they never get time to read! What I loved about the ending (not *really* a spoiler) is that Irene vows to spend more time reading, and that is my vow as well. 

A delightful, engaging series - I’m so pleased I came upon it!
