Summary
The second title in Genevieve Cogman's The Invisible Library series, The Masked City is a wonderful listen for all those who enjoyed Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan, Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair or Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London.
Librarian-spy Irene is working undercover in an alternative London when her assistant Kai goes missing. She discovers he's been kidnapped by the fae faction and the repercussions could be fatal. Not just for Kai, but for whole worlds.
Kai's dragon heritage means he has powerful allies, but also powerful enemies in the form of the fae. With this act of aggression, the fae are determined to trigger a war between their people – and the forces of order and chaos themselves.
Irene's mission to save Kai and avert Armageddon will take her to a dark, alternate Venice where it's always Carnival. Here Irene will be forced to blackmail, fast talk, and fight. Or face death.
The Masked City contains bonus extra content – secrets from the Library!
Continue the bookish magic with The Burning Page. Genevieve is also the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Scarlet - which reimagines the tale of the Scarlet Pimpernel, but with vampires, mages and magic . . .

An excellent sequel
The first book caught my interest and I’m very pleased that this second book was excellent. I enjoyed the merge of of the plot with more well know folk tales.

Great story concept and an enjoyable listen
Really like the story, it’s unique! I enjoy the heroine’s resourcefulness.
Slightly more detail for the ending would have been good, I guess I’m waiting for the next read to find out!

Great story, exciting narration
I have to admit, the more I listen the deeper I get.
Somehow I feel as if I’m actually there with just enough description needed to paint the picture and a hint of humour to settle it all.
Some characters are sketchy but as in life you don’t see everyone at once and the characters you need to know are well defined with a hint of deeper depths
Special mention to the narrator who really brings things to life

Okay but not brilliant.
This is the second book in the series - I was suitably intrigued after the first one to read this one. However, I still had the impression that the writing is very simple and the narrator came across like she was reading to children. I don't think I will go for the next book in the series.
