In the final (for now) Invisible Library book, Irene must come to terms with her new knowledge about her parentage.

I enjoyed Eleanor's adventures, once they got going, and I may just need to check the next book in this series.… (más)

Ma ei teagi, kas asi on selles, et ma ei armasta neid viktoriaanide aega säetud asju ja steampunki eriliselt ("Alaizabel Gray painaja" välja arvatud!).
Lugu polnud üldse halb ja tundub, et järjed võivad rohkem ulmekiri poole kalduda, kenasti oli vihjeid laiemale maailmale raamatukogude taga, mis edaspidi peaks rohkem lahti rulluma ja puha, aga ... tänan, ei.… (más)
