My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Mortal World by Genevieve Cogman (The Invisible Library 5) has Irene without an apprentice now, as Kai resigned in the last book in order to maintain peace between the Library and the dragons, after the fallout of that book! But that doesn’t mean that Kai has been returned home!
Vale is asked to go and investigate a murder which has happened at the peace talks between the fae, dragons and librarians. These are top secret, and so Irene and Kai knew nothing about them, but Irene has been chosen as the librarians representative in the investigation. There will also be a dragon and fae representatives!
If you thought one side was hard on the politics front, all three is even harder, along with a dragon being the murder victim, talk of the Blood Countess being there, and elderly librarians being outside of the Library! Irene has her job cut out for her!
I enjoyed this evolution of the story, and seeing the different sides interacting! The story is well told, and I just wanted to keep reading!
The Mortal World was published 29th November 2018 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
