The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman

4.0

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.
