The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman
4.0

A solid third installement of the Invisible Library series - which seems to improve as the series goes on. The characters are getting better and more interesting, and as usual, the plot is action oriented and shoots forward at breakneck speed. Adventures throughout the Library, imperial Russia, and underground black market and a mysterious secret library abound. There was one scene at the start involving spiders that nearly made me vomit (I really hate spiders...) whilst listening to it out cycling. Like, I had to stop cycling and get off the bike and stare at pretty landscapes because I was really grossed out. (And the spiders come back later in the book, by the way. You're not done with them after that first bit, but that's the worst bit).

As is usually the case with series like this one, the plot kind of becomes forgettable after awhile. But that's okay because I know I enjoyed the ride, and I know it was a fun adventure. I enjoyed the foray through portals towards the end, and thought overall that the settings were great fun and well-built. So yes, I still recommend this series.
