In this fourth Invisible Library book, we find Librarian extraordinaire Irene getting reluctantly pulled into dragon politics, via a world that's permanently stuck in Jazz Age America. If that sentence made no sense, that's sad, because it means you haven't read the first three books in this awesome series where Librarians (yes, capitalized) are secret agents that travel between worlds, acquiring books that help keep the universe together. There are the high chaos worlds ruled by the Fae and strictly ordered worlds ruled by dragons, but Irene and her fellow Librarians maintain a strict neutrality between the warring factions and generally stay in those worlds that are somewhere in the middle. OK, it still probably doesn't make much sense, but that's OK — Cogman makes it work, and does it with grace, humor, and a healthy dose of adventure. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
