The Lost Plot
The Lost Plot | Genevieve Cogman
A covert mission A royal demand And a race against time The fourth title in Genevieve Cogman's witty and wonderful The Invisible Library series, The Lost Plot is an action-packed literary adventure. In a 1930s-esque Chicago, Prohibition is in force, fedoras, flapper dresses and tommy guns are in fashion, and intrigue is afoot. Intrepid Librarians Irene and Kai find themselves caught in the middle of a dragon vs dragon contest. It seems a young librarian has become tangled in this conflict, and if they can't extricate him there could be serious political repercussions for the mysterious Library. And, as the balance of power across mighty factions hangs in the balance, this could even trigger war. Irene and Kai find themselves trapped in a race against time (and dragons) to procure a rare book. They'll face gangsters, blackmail and fiendish security systems. And if this doesn't end well, it could have dire consequences for Irene's job. And, incidentally, for her life . . .

Had this on the kindle for ages but avoided as I didn‘t like the third book in the series but this one was a return to form. We learn more about the dragons and their culture as well as the wonder of the librarians language. I had picked this as my gaslight fantasy novel but it‘s a bit of a cheat as most happens in a different world to Irene‘s - one that is US jazz age all the way!

The irony of this being called the lost plot...feel free to disregard my review, or take it more seriously when I tell you I skimmed the second half. I love this series for interdimensional travel, library myth and magic, mystery, adventure, and the interpersonal tension between a few key figures. This book was WAY too much dragon politics, repetitive stymied action towards any goal, and NO VALE! The last few chapters do not make up for it. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 You'd think that would put me off the series, but the ending served one purpose that should mean there's a bit more interpersonal progress instead of just frustrating plot points. I'd say hopefully there will also be a reduction in self-serving factions trying to manipulate the main characters, but that is admittedly a major theme in this series. I'd settle for more than a cameo from the other love interest. 🤦🏼‍♂️Call this strike one. 7mo

Wholesale destruction of areas containing agitating enemy forces equals "...conducive to peace and good order." ? That's one way to put it! ?

Book 4 in The Invisible Library series

Did not see that(!) ending coming.

Mobsters, speakeasies, dragon drama, false identities, and books.

In the fourth installment of this series Irene and her more than faithful apprentice, Kai, find themselves in the midst of the territory of none other than the Queen of the Southern Lands, Ya Yu…and she‘s far less than pleased! Mod bosses, detectives, scrying, kidnap, deception, and loss. Worth the read!

From prior posts you could see I've raved about this awesome series. However, this one seemed to be straining a bit on the plot.
Bear in mind the series itself is brilliant, but I didn't find this book as breathtaking and page-gripping as the books prior it lacked the character arcing and the plot twists. Although, the sense of danger remained real, the foreshadowing remains excellent. A slight disappointment compared to the other books.

Fabulous sequel - enjoyed being in a 20s New York with gangs and mob bosses and prohibition and speakeasys. Kai and Irene are great characters - they work so well together. Irene is unstoppable and an amazing heroine.

This was such a intense adventure. And I almost cried at the end. My heart clenched and I had all the feels.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vale wasn‘t in this much at all which I was saddened by, but we were constantly going so it there wasn‘t much time to miss him. Loved Kai and Irenes partnership and seeing them be protective of each other and yeah. It was good.

I adore these books and this one is no different. 😍 The writing is just so smart and moves so well from place to place. The characters are intelligent, and real. These books just take me somewhere else.
In this particular book, there are politics at play, more so than the first 3. But politics in a fantasy world always play out a little differently.
If you need to escape into a new world, these books are for you. You will not be bored!

SW-T Fun series! 😊 4y

So my mum and I hit the charity shops today to see what was out and about. She walked out with some bargain clothes and I.... forgot I was there for the clothes and bought books 🤭😂
The most expensive book of the day was £1, and at that price it would have been rude not to ☺️😇

5/5💚s

This quote from the book pretty much sums it up. Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Conflict all over the place & Irene (main character) was there to “sort things out.” Somehow coming out on top in the end. It was an intense journey which FINALLY relieved some of that sexual tension, after building it up a ton more. Can‘t wait to read the next one in the series! *whew* I need a minute to de-tense after this one!

I almost forgot to post a review for this book! 🙈

This is yet another original story in this wonderful series! Some unexpected turns of events, that lead to long awaited developments; further building of the characters, especially the MC; clever solutions and intricate intrigues… I love this series! My local library didn‘t have the next volume, so it‘s already been bought and added to my TBR stack🤓😎

tl:dr: An invisible library connects many worlds and protects books. One librarian and her Dragon apprentice are constantly trying to save knowledge while fighting fae and vampires.

Read this if you love the series and need to keep up.

Good: vampires, fae, books, zeplins, and magic, gangsters, prohibition Boston/ new york

Bad: not quite the goodness of the first two books. But better than third. Suspect next book will be good.

The Invisible Library books are always shortlived and entertaining, but nothing more. The character relationships are predictable, as well as the story progression.

Librarians! Dragons! Gangsters! Dire Wolves! As usual, Irene and Kai are in way over their heads, and this time it‘s political. Which, since dragons are involved, is even worse than usual. These continue to be exciting and fun, and I hope they keep going that way.

This book was amazing! It was everything that it needed to be! Entertaining, suspenseful, intense, witty, and wonderful! Irene manages to survive yet another crazy sequence of events (and this is the best one yet, I think!) Thank you for finally letting Irene and Kai be together, even though it took all of four books to make it happen. I need book five right now! 5/5 ⭐️

I LOVE THESE BOOKS. I enjoyed this one even more I think thanks to the absence of Alberich. Irene and Kai are the best kind of team, and the plot was riveting and full of action: mobsters, dragons, heists and subterfuge. 5 stars and cant wait for more Invisible library books. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐉🐲📚📚📚
