A feisty heroine. Dragons. Fae. Beautiful Venice. What’s not to love. Maybe more of Irene & Kai together instead of most of the story apart. But hey… you can’t have everything.

I didn't like it as much as I liked the Invisible Library. But it was OK. Less Kai :-D
The Language is making Irene a bit too powerful.

3.5 stars. Ironically, since starting work in a library, I've read even less than ever before. I kept falling asleep after reading a few pages of this book every evening. It's not that it wasn't good, but the idea was so new, so fresh in the first instalment, it just wasn't as captivating this time around. Not that I won't read the next one anyways

So a mysterious library, a recovery agent and the world of fae and dragons. A recipe for disaster.

In book 2 of this fantastic series, Irene finds herself in the same old London of last book but without her trusted and very handsome sidekick, Kai. The disaster that I spoke of? Well this was the spark.

A battle between the fae and dragons loom large and only one librarian stands in the way.

Full of action, intrigue and some near death experiences, this book had me swearing at and rooting for Irene at the same time. The big overall arch of the plot is yet to be revealed but we do get a chance to peek about what's happening behind the shadows.
