Never judge a book by its cover...

Due to her involvement in an unfortunate set of mishaps between the dragons and the Fae, Librarian spy Irene is stuck on probation, doing what should be simple fetch-and-retrieve projects for the mysterious Library. But trouble has a tendency to find both Irene and her apprentice, Kai—a dragon prince—and, before they know it, they are entangled in more danger than they can handle...

Irene’s longtime nemesis, Alberich, has once again been making waves across multiple worlds, and, this time, his goals are much larger than obtaining a single book or wreaking vengeance upon a single Librarian. He aims to destroy the entire Library—and make sure Irene goes down with it.

With so much at stake, Irene will need every tool at her disposal to stay alive. But even as she draws her allies close around her, the greatest danger might be lurking from somewhere close—someone she never expected to betray her...


Librarian Irene is on probation suddenly finds herself the subject of an attack while on a fetch and retrieve job for the Library. It takes her apprentice Kai in his true dragon form to fly them out of the world and to the world where detective Vale lives. Vale is going through being Chaos infected, due to their last adventure on a chaos fae world in the second book in the series, and worse, Irene finds it is her enemy, and ex-Librarian Alberich who is behind her attacks, plus what is happening to other librarians and the Library.

What can you expect from this story? There is a deeper level of understanding about the mechanics of the Library, which in turn will also help the reader better understand how books create the connection between the Library and the alternate worlds. I enjoyed the depth that Ms. Cogman explains about high chaos worlds versus high order worlds and everything in between.

Of you enjoy the TV series, “The Librarians,” on TNT, or The Librarian movies that proceeded that, then this book and its proceeding novels will be something you’ll like. It’s full of adventure and excitement, an entertaining page turner that you won’t put down the book, not until the last sentence is read.

I gave The Burning Page 5 sheep
