Secrets lie within a Library

When the book begins, it is hard not to be charmed by the main character. The scene opens with deep thought and long-winded detail. This amount of detail may become tedious in most books, but it is used perfectly in this instance, and it brings the world to life. The story is full of action but maintains a clear plot while ensuring room for the reader to think. I won't go into the story so as not to spoil it- but if you are a fan of fantasy rooted in the real world, you'll love this.

A secret agent for a extra-dimensional library

When we first meet Irene, she’s mopping the floors in a gothic boarding school. We learn she’s an agent for the Library, sent on missions to alternate dimensions to collect unique books and bring them safely back to the Library. Being a Librarian gives Irene some unique advantages, but collecting books can be a risky business. Saddled with a student, and sent to an alternate Victorian London, Irene finds herself in mortal peril, and must make some unlikely allegiances to survive… and (more importantly) bring back the book she’s been sent for.
