The Masked City

The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman, 372 pages

In her followup to May's The Invisible Library, Cogman takes spy Librarian extraordinaire Irene Winters out of her steampunk London world and into an alternate Venice, a city ruled by the fae and in a perpetual state of Carnivale. So why would Irene, who is desperate to avoid the chaotic worlds, in this hotbed of fae? Well, she has to rescue her apprentice Kai, a dragon who has been kidnapped and is being auctioned off to the highest fae bidder. As odd as the story may sound, it's an excellent second book in this series, full of the action and humor of the first book. I'm looking forward to December's The Burning Page (and loving the rapid succession in which these books are being released!).
