The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman
4.0

My Recommendation: Worth reading if you're going to commit to the entire series. I wasn't disappointed in this book, but I wasn't as enamored as I was with the first book of the series.

My Response: This is my final book of 2019, it took me a month to read (I got distracted with travelling and knitting) and two weeks to post about it—oh well.

Similar to The Masked City, this book starts off with a kidnapping, this time it's Irene. Well it doesn't start off with one, it actually starts off with a trip to another highly ordered world (think Nazi's) and then when Irene has to take a quick solo trip to the Library she gets kidnapped.

This also wasn't the Dragon companion book I was hoping we'd get after the last books deep foray into the Fae's political underworld. Instead we were back to the big-bad Alberich for this story. That being said, it does sound like the Dragon's are still coming with a side comment from one of Kai's relatives (attendees?), but I won't hold my breath.
