Overall, it feels like a really well-rounded book. The book’s plot is fast-paced, but there are still funny moments and tons of character development. The story works really well as both an instalment in the overall series, and as a standalone work. As could probably have been expected, things don’t go to plan, and Irene finds herself responsible for trying to prevent the peace talks from completely falling apart. And I’ve got to say that this is one of my favourite instalments to date!Īfter the dramatic events of The Lost Plot, Irene’s in late 1800s Paris for Fae/dragon peace talks. I’m a huge fan of the Invisible Library series, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to read and review the book. Could the killer be a member of the Library itself? However, the evidence against the Countess is circumstantial. She’s on the trail of a notoriously warlike Fae, the Blood Countess. Suspicions fly thick and fast and Irene soon finds herself in the seedy depths of the Parisian underworld. Here, she must get to the bottom of the attack – before either the peace negotiations or the city go up in flames. She must head to a version of 1890s Paris, with her assistant Kai and her detective friend Vale, where these talks are fracturing. As a neutral party, Librarian-spy Irene is summoned to investigate. This rudely interrupts a top-secret summit between the warring dragons and Fae. Peace talks are always tricky, especially when a key diplomat gets stabbed. The fifth title in Genevieve Cogman’s witty and wonderful Invisible Library series, The Mortal Word is a rollicking literary adventure. The Mortal Word is a fantasy novel which was published by Pan Macmillan in the UK in November 2018.īelow is the Goodreads synopsis of the book: I received a free copy of The Mortal Word by Genevieve Cogman from the publisher in return for review consideration receipt of a free copy has not affected my opinion or the contents of this review.
