In an alternate St. Petersburg, librarian-spy Irene faces unimaginable dangers – as her arch-nemesis returns. The Burning Page is the third instalment in the Invisible Library series from bestselling author Genevieve Cogman.

Librarian-spy Irene is on probation – and absconding from a mission doesn't look good. But when her escape route home goes up in flames, what's a spy to do?

It turns out, Irene's home, the trans-dimensional library, is under siege. Across dozens of worlds, its once-reliable Gates back to the library are malfunctioning. Irene's nemesis, Alberich, is responsible – with plans to annihilate the library itself.

To face the threat, Irene and assistant Kai are posted to St Petersburg. Here, Irene stumbles upon an incredibly dangerous – yet alluring – opportunity. It's a chance to save the library. Saving herself would be a bonus . . .

Brace yourself for an action-filled ride with stolen books, covert operatives, and clandestine societies!

Irene's adventures continue in The Lost Plot, the next captivating entry in The Invisible Library series.

Opinie krytyków

Brilliant and so much fun. Skulduggery, Librarians, and Dragons – Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series! (Charles Stross, author of the Laundry Files, including The Atrocity Archives)
The Burning Page does not disappoint. It’s a fun, adventure-filled romp . . .If you haven’t picked up this series and you like magic, adventure, Sherlock Holmes, a dash of steampunk, lots of mystery, and books, then definitely pick up The Invisible Library! If you’ve read the first two and liked them, you’ll certainly enjoy The Burning Page
It’s fun. It’s packed with chaotic and dramatic adventures and is witty to boot
The author writes with a speed and verve that keeps you on the edge of your seat through a rollicking good adventure . . . The Burning Page is not only hard to put down, it’s hard to walk away from
The Burning Page is action packed from start to finish, so that even Irene and you the reader hardly get the chance to catch your breath
This excellent series has traces of the satire of Terry Pratchett, the breadth of imagination of Jasper Fforde . . . but make no mistake: it feels in all senses original and engrossing
A gripping addition to the mythos Cogman has already built
The Invisible Library series is tailor-made for bibliophiles . . . It’s immensely entertaining, and I continue to love Irene and her third person narrative voice: she’s practical, analytical, and competent, and she handles the absurd situations in which she constantly finds herself with aplomb
Cogman’s writing is fresh, with a rich tonality ranging from the whimsical and witty to the suspenseful . . . the story is buoyed by the fast action scenes, and readers will be fascinated by the ever-growing complexities of Cogman’s world

Kristin Atherton has an amazing voice spectrum. The story itself is good and keeps you invested, but the narration by Kristin Atherton makes it just that much better.

The differences in voice nuancing, her ability to impersonate male voices and multiple of them is impressive. Even the change in tone as the moods change. Honestly, one of the top tier narrators going on voice actors I’ve experienced so far in audio books. There are good narrators, but she creates her own entire level of it. Especially it feels like listending to a natural flow in conversation. She does not over do it my taste, just emphasising the story a little more.

I don’t want to get into the story too much, but I very much enjoy the entire series and how the different characters evolve throughout them. Overall a coherent story. Also I enjoy that Genevieve Cogmann is not afraid to explore sub plot lines and not fully resolve them. Just as in real life.

Brilliant narrator, good story
