Firstly this book is based around a library, as a book addict what's not to like. On top of this there is a magical element to this alongside the character story lines and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The storyline is so really good and the introductions of new characters is timed to perfection. I was hooked from start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The strange situations throughout the book were really exciting and I was gripped.
The Narrater was fab in this too. Thoroughly enjoyed this book on Audible.

Starting with a cold open, The Invisible Library throws you straight into the action. For all its fantastical elements, Library is character-led, and the leads in Irene and Kai are ones you'll gladly root for. Their web of supporting characters provide good entertainment and scope for future installments, while backstory payoffs come thick and fast. While some of the magic rules are either complex or clumsily explained, it's easy enough to just accept the practical effects of the rules, for good or ill. A thoroughly enjoyable start to the series.

This was a good story overall, there were just times I thought things could have been explained better or explored more. I would have like to read about more alternates or more about the library itself and more character backstory.

Such a great concept! Love the aesthetic. The execution/characters/plot/writing....leaves something to be desired. Look, if you want to read something beautifully written about secret magical library worlds for book-lovers, read The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern.
