Overall: If you’re looking for a fantasy adventure series to try, I highly recommend The Invisible Library. The series gets better with each book as you become more attached to the recurring characters and familiar with the intricacies and quirks of the world that Cogman has created.

The characters have such detailed back stories and so much has happened over the course of the previous seven books, I’d recommend you go back to the beginning and stick with it. You really do have to have read the earlier books before you pick up The Untold Story. And, as the author has decided this is the last of these books for the foreseeable, it does wrap up most of the over-arching story threads very nicely. As with all the previous books in the series, The Untold Story is packed with intrigue, action and peril. A break they have more than earnt but which would no doubt leave them all incredibly bored!īut readers looking forward to more high-stakes Invisible Library adventure from this book needn’t worry.

Over the past six years I’ve become so attached to the characters I would happily read a story about them going on a non-eventful holiday. I’ve been a fan of this series since I read the first book, The Invisible Library, back in 2015. The Untold Story is the unputdownable eighth book in the Invisible Library fantasy series by Genevieve Cogman.

This may be Irene’s most dangerous assignment of her hazardous career. And what they find will change everything they know. Multiple worlds are disappearing – and the Library may have something to do with it.ĭetermined to uncover the truth behind the vanished worlds, Irene and her friends must descend into the unplumbed depths of the Library. Not for the first time, but could this be her last? She’s tasked with a terrifyingly dangerous solo mission to eliminate an old enemy, which must be kept secret at all costs. Librarian Spy Irene is heading into danger. Return to the world of the Invisible Library for Irene’s most perilous mission yet. I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher (Pan Macmillan) via NetGalley in return of an honest review. A great final (for now) book in this highly enjoyable series.
