Chapter Two Hundred Thirteen: The Invisible Library (and The Masked City and The Burning Page)

So, for a book club I'm in, I read Genevieve Cogman's fantasy novel The Invisible Library, which I'd been vaguely meaning to read for some time, and I enjoyed it so much I had to immediately read its sequels, The Masked City and The Burning Page, and now I'm eagerly awaiting the next book (The Lost Plot), which is due later this winter!  Cogman's novels have all, or at least most, of the elements of the elements I want in a fantasy story: a strong female lead, alluring supportive male characters, a fearsome villain, a mysterious organization (which in this case is a library, even better!), dragons, fae, and multiple worlds with varying levels of magic, technology, chaos, and order.  If I haven't already convinced you, perhaps you're not a fantasy reader, in which case these books may not be for you, but if you like fantasy at all, or want to dip your toes into clever, action-packed fantasy for adults, check out The Invisible Library and its sequels.  I really can't recommend them enough!
