    2. And if X gives Qing Song the book that lets him get Minister Zhao s position, then Librarians become tools for hire They become servants And they become generally known as allies of the dragons, which means they re automatically enemies of the Fae Not to mention that if we support one dragon family or faction, then we make enemies of the others The Library survives in the middle We are not on anyone s side If X exists and has done what Jin Zhi says they have, then X has just put Librarians in da [...]

    3. 4 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum bibliosanctum 2018 01 25 Now that the Invisible Library series has become firmly established, the storylines are just getting better and better Thematically, The Lost Plot is mysterious and adventurous, drawing heavily from Dragon vs Fae politics, and there are also strong attempts to involve as many world building elements as possible That said though, I do feel this installment takes a step away from series arc that has been developing for the last three book [...]

    4. This review can also be found at Carole s Random Life in Books.I had such a good time reading this book This is the fourth book in The Invisible Library series and while it tells its own story, I do think that this series is best if read in order One thing that I love about this series is that each installment can be completely unique and the types of worlds that they visit really has no limits This was a very strong story that was incredibly entertaining from beginning to end.Irene finds hersel [...]

    5.

    6. I love these books.This is a rare situation where each book in the series is better than the last What begins as a straightforward action adventure story becomes of a mystery that is not easily solved Dragon politics has taken a nasty turn, and evidence points to the involvement of a librarian, violating their neutrality pledge Irene and Kai must find this rogue librarian and try to restore balance, but must do so without the institutional cover of the library if they are discovered, they re on [...]

    7. I admit I am very much a fan of Irene Winters and the Invisible Library series So much so that I will actually be purchasing a copy of this, book 4, to become part of my Nursing Home Collection all those books that will make the transition with me to said nursing home when the time do come I read too damn fast The Lost Plot went by much too quickly It is action packed, putting Irene in many tight spots, between gangsters, plotting dragons, and unpredictable fae assassins Luckily, she and Kai hav [...]

    8. Just as we re getting used to books gone missing, it is happening to Librarians as well And, who re you gonna call Irene After an installment three which showed a wee bit weak in the storyline, Genevieve Cogman and Irene is doing a worthy come back Lots of action, intrigue and fight to the end for honor takes place in Chicago and New York during prohibition at a pace only fit for well shaped dragons.When we previously came to believe that the Dragon race were the upholders of Order, as opposed t [...]

    11. This book was provided by the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review I wasn t really sure where The Lost Plot would take this series After finishing The Burning Page last year, I felt like the series had all but wrapped up I think it was only supposed to be a trilogy at first.There was a bit of a disconnect with this fourth book Part of this may be from the length of time between reading the last book and this o [...]

    14. minor spoilers 3.75 stars Hmmm this was the fourth instalment of The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman and whilst I did really enjoy this book it was witty and all very prim and proper , I didn t love it like I did the first two I think the main reason for this was because there were quite a few characters who I love which didn t feature in this book at all For example the Sherlock Holmes like Peregrine Vale, the charming yet slightly creepy fae, Lord Silver, and yes, even the very si [...]

    25. After this book, I m reminded of an old title Never deal with a Dragon After the various Fae heavy books and Librarian Nemesis, it s the turn of Dragon politics to enter the fray And, of course, our heroine has to solve this, with the minimum of fallout For this, she heads out to a Prohibition era version of NYC, with mobsters, femme fatale assassins, and dragons competing for a book.Where else would you have a book as the McGuffin As always, a very very enjoyable entry in the series And Irene s [...]

    28. It would be easy to dismiss The Lost Plot and the entire series as fluffy fantasy involving a weird Library, dragons, Fae, and dimensional time travel, and in some regards this assessment is true It is rather fluffy in that the stories are not literary in nature but purely entertaining You are not going to learn much about history, life, or yourself while reading them To dismiss The Invisible Library series, however, is to ignore all that is right with storytelling for Genevieve Cogman tells one [...]

    29. I ve been enjoying this series, so when The Housemate told me that it had come from the library, I was thrilled Alas, though this installment is good, I found that it lacked the excitement of the first three, though I m still not quite sure why.The story involves a rare book, of course, and several factions who want to find it When the neutrality of The Library seems about to be compromised, Irene and Kai are sent to investigate and, if possible, fix the problem What they find are warring dragon [...]

    30. 3.5Invisible Library is such a fun series, and I hold true to my earlier reviews stating how it reads like episodes of Doctor Who I really enjoyed the setting of 20 s NYC, and watching the characters of Irene and Kai continue to develop My main complaint was the lack of two of my favorite characters, Lord Silver and Vale Hopefully we ll be seeing of them in the next instalment Can t wait to see what adventures the next book will bring.
