About this listen

The trans-dimensional library teeters on the brink of catastrophe – and only one book can save it. The Secret Chapter is the sixth instalment in the Invisible Library series from Genevieve Cogman.

As Irene tries to manage a fraught truce between the warring Fae and dragon factions – not to mention her overbearing parents – she’s given a new mission. The world where she grew up is in danger, and only one book can save it. A book owned by a secretive Fae antiques dealer named Mr Nemo.

In 21st century Vienna, a painting holds an extraordinary secret from the past – and Mr Nemo wants it. To acquire the book and save the library, Irene and her assistant Kai must team up with an unlikely band of scheming dragons, Fae gamblers and outright thieves. Together, they must pull off an amazing art heist – and trade the painting for that book.

But some will kill to protect this painting. If Irene wants to save her world from disaster, it isn't going to be easy . . .

The spectacularly bookish fantasy continues in The Dark Archive.

Critic reviews

The ensuing shenanigans are wittily told, with some great one-liners and comic set pieces, and the resourceful Irene is a delightful protagonist. This is light-hearted fantasy at its page-turning best (Guardian)

I am loving this series, they're great romping fantasy yarns. this book was good, but the plot wasn't quite as good as the preceding ones - a single threaded plot with quite obvious outcomes, instead of the more complex multi faceted plots of the previous. Was still worth listening to, though!

Great, but not as good as the preceding books

I love these series of books! A strong heroine with great friends going on dramatic and interesting adventures. It's got different worlds, time settings and locations and each story is never quite what you think it is. Highly recommend them all!

Fun and dramatic

great storyvwith a surprising twist in the end. the characters continue to evolve and the machinations abound as usual.

surprising

At first you may, like me, find the narration a little flat, akin to a news reader in delivery, but after a while it settles and becomes more plausible. The characters are well voiced and overall it works well. The story is a great addition to the series

Great story slightly awkward narration

Since Kai became Irene's assistant in the library, they just can't catch a break, and as much as that sucks for them, I can't get enough. Bring on the next one soon!

Side note, the new narrator for this book was odd after binging on the previous books. I don't dislike the new one, but some very different pronunciation is jarring. I will reserve judgement on my preference until I have listened again.

Life for Irene and Kai is never simple

Possibly Genevieve Cogman’s best book yet! Loved the storyline, was on the edge of my seat. Narration has dramatically improved from the other books. Can’t wait for the next one!!

Another stunning book in this series!

I absolutely loved this book. It was exciting and fleshed out the characters and worlds more especially the dragon history. Just going to start the next book

Great read. Love it
