My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Lost Plot by Genevieve Cogman (The Invisible Library 4) has Irene and Kai involved with in dragon politics, in a world that is in Prohibition era, and they are in New York!  There are 2 dragons vying for a role in the Queen of the South’s court, and Irene is approached by one of them, saying that a librarian is helping the other, and so it’s only fair if Irene help them!

Irene has to investigate, along with Kai, in a world where mob bosses abound! 

This is another great book in this series, and one where you learn more about the dragons.  I found the book to be fast paced, engaging and entertaining!  The characters are great, and I enjoy spending time with them!

The Lost Plot was published on 14th December 2017 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

Children of Virtue and Vengeance carries on where Children of Blood and Bone stopped.  Magic has been brought back for everyone, and now Zélie is trying to get the maji to work together.  She wants to put Amari on the throne, as she will be more welcoming to the maji than her father was.

This is a book of huge change, with magic coming back, and people trying to work together, so there is inevitably, distrust between characters.

I didn’t find this as amazing as the first book in the series, but you often have that happen in a series.  The story was ok, but it didn’t hold on to me enough for me to want to read more in this series.  It’s a fantasy novel, as you can tell from the magic, and I enjoyed the setting and the background, just wasn’t grabbed by the plot!

Children of Virtue and Vengeance was published on 3rd December 2019 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

The Fantastic Phantasmic Detective Agency by D.L. Dugger is the third in a series of YA fantasy stories where three children have the Phantasmic Detective Agency, which is there to help ghosts.  They have a medium, Arthur, who can speak to the dead.

This story jumps between 2 different points of view – one of whom is Arthur, and the other is Abby, one of the children.

I found this story to be confusing as it jumped around, but that could be due to the format of the book.  The story is quite basic, so it’s aimed at a young YA audience.

The Fantastic Phantasmic Detective Agency was published on 11th November 2019 and is available from Amazon.

Deeplight by Frances Hardinge is set in a world where the gods ruled the seas.  They were in the form of giant sea creatures, and could cause death and chaos when they wanted!  Sacrifices were made, priests advised what to do, and then one day thirty years ago, all of the gods killed each other, and no one knows why.

Now, there are bits of god to be found in the bottom of the sea, valuable to some, and dangerous to collect.  Hark is always dragged into ill-advised things by his best friend, Jelt, and tonight will be no exception.

This is a fantasy novel, with a rich back story.  I enjoyed the story unfolding, and learning more about Hawk, Jelt, and the gods.  

Deeplight was published on 31st October 2019 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman (The Invisible Library 3) has the return of Alberich, the former librarian, turned fae magic user, and he’s up to something!  

The great detective, Vale, after rescuing Irene and Kai in the previous book in a fae heavy world, is suffering the aftereffects of this, and Irene isn’t sure what she can do to help him!

Access to the Library is starting to go, leading to Irene being taken back to their base of operations by Kai, in dragon form!  So that’s another thing that Irene needs to look into!

This is an action packed book, with thrills and surprises.  I really enjoyed this book, and this series!  It’s fantasy, with action, spies, and books!

The Burning Page was publishing on 15th December 2015 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
