Why read it?
2 authors picked The Invisible Library as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the first book in a wonderful series. Clever writing, clever characters, astonishing world-building, and a plot that will leave you breathless. Don't start this book if you don't have time to devote the next few weeks to the series because you'll have to. You can't "eat" just one!
I love libraries and books about books. What reader doesn’t? There are a lot of shenanigans and mysteries contained within this first in a series where librarians travel to other worlds to find books to add to the one true Library. There are werewolves, dragons, and the wittiest fae imaginable. And through them, all clever focused Irene consistently uses her smarts before she reacts to the conflict. Amid the chaos, she’s quick thinking which I love. You can’t trust just anyone to retrieve a good book and she makes it clear that a proper librarian is the universe's best option.
From D.'s list on women sleuths who use mind over might.
