Kui oleksin poolei jätnud, nagu vahepeal tundus, siis oleksin ühe pannud, aga kuna lugesin lõpuni, siis üldmulje kõvasti paranes. Samas polnud kahju käest panna ja järgi ilmselt ka ei loe. Ma ei teagi, kas asi on selles, et ma ei armasta neid viktoriaanide aega säetud asju ja steampunki eriliselt ("Alaizabel Gray painaja" välja arvatud!). Lugu polnud üldse halb ja tundub, et järjed võivad rohkem ulmekiri poole kalduda, kenasti oli vihjeid laiemale maailmale raamatukogude taga, mis edaspidi peaks rohkem lahti rulluma ja puha, aga ... tänan, ei. I'm going with the Goodreads rating "it was OK" because I did finish it but this is really not my kind of book. I'm annoyed by Steampunk and if I knew that was sort of a thing here I'd never even have started reading. Besides that, there's just too much else going on with secret language and vampires and dragons and whatnot. Just too much. I was in the heaven-hell state of concurrently reading three very different books, each wonderful in its own way, and each screaming for my attention. It was more sheer luck than anything else that led to The Invisible Library being the first one I finished. As a mystery, I wouldn't say it was the most cunning. But in terms of world- and character-building, it is easy to see why it spawned a successful series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Collecting books can be a dangerous prospect in this fun, time-traveling, fantasy adventure from a spectacular debut author. One thing any Librarian will tell you: the truth is much stranger than fiction... Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of the different realities. Most recently, she and her enigmatic assistant Kai have been sent to an alternative London. Their mission: Retrieve a particularly dangerous book. The problem: By the time they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground factions are prepared to fight to the death to find the tome before Irene and Kai do, a problem compounded by the fact that this world is chaos-infested--the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic to run rampant. To make matters worse, Kai is hiding something--secrets that could be just as volatile as the chaos-filled world itself. Now Irene is caught in a puzzling web of deadly danger, conflicting clues, and sinister secret societies. And failure is not an option--because it isn't just Irene's reputation at stake, it's the nature of reality itself.."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I think the reason I didn't give this more stars is because I enjoy dark and intense magic where this was almost playful.
The ending made me quite intrigued and I may read the next book to see if any of that darkness find it's way in to the series. ( )
