The Burning Page

The Invisible Library series is so much fun. It follows the adventures of Irene, a spy/book thief working for an organization existing outside of time and space known as the Library. She's a great heroine: practical, resourceful, and competent, and she handles the absurd situations in which she tends to find herself with aplomb.

The Burning Page picks up some of the dangling threads from the first book: the former-Librarian-turned-traitor Alberich is back and determined to destroy the Library since its members refuse to surrender it to him. My favorite parts of this installment were Irene's interactions with Alberich, as well as reading about Kai and Irene working together on more orderly worlds that resist the Language (used by Librarians to change reality). It also gives Irene cause to question something she's always taken for granted, and I can't wait to find out how this is addressed in future installments!

Rating: 8/10
