I continue to love every minute of The Invisible Library series and The Dark Archive is no exception. Layers of mystery as old foes, once thought dead, come back to haunt Irene and Kai.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Not the development I was expecting to get, but nonetheless very interesting. Troubling as well.

And then those two revelations at the end!
Number one was kinda obvious (to me at least). Number two is a nice, mysterious and probably disturbing set-up.

But now I have to wait another year to read more, and by that time I won't remember much at all. Ah, how I love that...

Spoiler: I reread it before Untold Story, and I did not remember much...

The first half was difficult to get into, but sticking with it provides a good payoff in a fast-paced second half. I was not surprised by the family revelation-I figured that out in book 3. But it will be interesting to see how the series proceeds.

Another masterpiece

I am truly obsessed with this series! It’s so creative and feels so new. It does an excellent job drawing in tropes and classic storylines. Honestly I recommend this book to everyone!
