This is light-hearted fantasy at its page-turning best -- <i>Guardian</i> I absolutely loved this . . . flavoured with truly unique mythology and a dash of the eldritch. Such clever, creepy, elaborate worldbuilding and snarky, sexy-smart characters! -- N. K. Jemisin on <i>The Invisible Library </i>(Book One) Irene is a great heroine: fiery, resourceful and no one's fool, she has a wonderfully droll sense of humour - much like the novel itself -- <i>Guardian</i> on <i>The Masked City</i> (Book Two) Brilliant and so much fun. Skullduggery, Librarians, and dragons - Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series! -- Charles Stross on <i>The Burning Page</i> (Book Three) Reminiscent of the works of Diana Wynne Jones and Neil Gaiman . . a true treat to read -- <i>Publishers Weekly </i>on <i>The Invisible Library</i> (Book One) Cogman fills a captivating story with animated characters and propels the narrative at a cracking pace, planting perfectly timed plot twists and reversals of fortune along the way -- <i>Guardian</i> on <i>The Mortal Word</i> (Book Five)
