The Mortal Word by Genevieve Cogman

4.0

This has been my guilty pleasure since I read book 1. After every 2-3 odd books, I come back to the Invisible Library series and check up on what my favourite librarian/spy is up to.

In book 5, she is apparently an investigator stuck between chaos and order. A classic whodunit at its core, book 5 is more of a filler where old characters come back for a reunion and a new, possibly more interesting character surfaces for the future. There is very less foreshadowing for the overall arc but as it stands in the series, it is nonetheless a good addition.

Irene, if you were to steal a book on this planet, you'd probably find it at my place. Here's my open invitation. And oh, leave Kai behind.
