Kara K is the expert on this book and the series it opened having blogged about it here and here. Patrick also gave his take on it here. I am obviously late to the party on this one. Irene is a librarian for a mysterious library that connects with alternate worlds to collect and preserve books that bind the worlds together. Too soon after returning from a mission, Irene is handed another one and given a trainee assistant named Kai, who has secrets of his own he is trying to preserve. The "alternate" they land in is a steampunk version of Victorian London complete with fairies, dragons, vampires, and a Sherlock-style detective. Their goal is to retrieve an original manuscript of Grimm's Fairytales while avoiding a defector librarian. This one took a little time to get into but was worth it in the end. I'm undecided about diving into the rest of the series because do I really need one more series to keep up with?
