The Mortal Word

The Mortal Word is the fifth installment in Genevieve Cogman's delightful Invisible Library series, which follows the adventures of Irene Winters. As an agent of the Library that exists outside of space and time, Irene travels to various alternate worlds and collects (okay, steals) books to add to their reserves.

Though the first chapter and the last 80 pages or so are quite engaging, I think The Mortal Word is the weakest installment in the series so far. It has some fun parts, but the middle focusing on the dragon murder investigation seems rather slow at times for a few reasons (including a lack of the undercover shenanigans that Irene revels in!).
