The Mortal Word, a captivating installment in Genevieve Cogman's witty and delightful Invisible Library series, seamlessly blends into a sequence or stands alone for readers' enjoyment.
Within this captivating tale, we encounter a corrupt countess, a spy in peril, and an assassin on the loose. The backdrop of peace talks adds an extra layer of complexity, particularly when a key diplomat is stabbed during the summit, abruptly halting the crucial negotiations between the warring dragons and Fae. Librarian-spy Irene is called upon to investigate this murder, which takes place in a version of 1890s Paris. Alongside her detective friend Vale, Irene embarks on a mission to track down the killer before the peace negotiations or the city itself crumble under the weight of chaos.
As the investigation unfolds, accusations fly thick and fast, casting Irene into the seedy depths of the Parisian underworld. She follows a trail that leads her to the notorious Fae, the Blood Countess, a warlike creature shrouded in mystery. However, the evidence against the Countess is circumstantial, leaving Irene to question whether the assassin, or perhaps assassins, are closer than anyone suspects.
The Mortal Word is a thrilling adventure that will captivate fans of Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes. It continues the bookish magic with The Secret Chapter, a must-read for those who crave more of Genevieve Cogman's enchanting storytelling. Additionally, Cogman's bestselling novel, Scarlet, reimagines the tale of the Scarlet Pimpernel with a unique twist, incorporating vampires, mages, and magic into the historical context.
