Summary
Return to the Invisible Library for Irene's most perilous mission yet! The Untold Story is the climactic eighth book in Genevieve Cogman's exhilarating series.
For librarian-spy Irene, this could be her last mission. She has been sent on a terrifying, dangerous task – one which must be kept secret at all costs. To eliminate Alberich.
But even more troubling news emerges. Entire worlds are disappearing, and the Library itself may have something to do with it.
To uncover the truth of these vanishing worlds, Irene and her friends must descend into the unplumbed depths of the Library. What they find will change everything . . .
The Untold Story is the unputdownable eighth book in the Invisible Library series of fantasy novels by Genevieve Cogman.
Genevieve is also the author of Scarlet, a Sunday Times bestselling novel. Set during the French revolution, it is a spellbinding tale of magic, vampires and chaos, written with her trademark wit and pace.

'Irene is a great heroine: fiery, resourceful and no one's fool' – The Guardian
'Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series!' – Charles Stross, author of the Merchant Princes series
Critic reviews
"I absolutely loved this...flavoured with truly unique mythology and a dash of the eldritch. Such clever, creepy, elaborate world-building and snarky, sexy-smart characters!" (N. K. Jemisin on The Invisible Library)
"Irene is a great heroine: fiery, resourceful and no one’s fool, she has a wonderfully droll sense of humour – much like the novel itself." (Guardian on The Masked City)
"Brilliant and so much fun. Skullduggery, Librarians and dragons – Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series!" (Charles Stross on The Burning Page)

10/10 Complete Package.
The whole series is magnificent. Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed. For anyone who likes 21C fantasy this series is a must with everything going for it. Fast paced wit & drama, great plots & twists, friendship, romance, intrigue & laugh out loud humour a plenty. Started out on the 1st 3 books reading the hard copy then found them narrated here. Christine Atherton is the fantastic narrator of the whole series giving it continuity. Christine's narrations of all the many characters are so well done! I'm now going to investigate other titles she's narrating on! The series author "Genevieve Cogman" is a TOTAL mind extraordinare! Such ideas & wit! These were her first rodeo into writing apparently, WOW! Somebody needs to give Ms Cogman all the fantasy fiction awards available already for this series!! I'm also going to be checking out everything else Ms Cogman has written now! Thanks Audible this of author + narrator coupling is an exceptionally good job. Well Done 😊

Amazing series
I thoroughly enjoyed this series, the world that was built and the mysteries surrounding the library. I hope that we get to visit these characters or the worlds around them again. Would highly recommend all books in this series.

Brilliant story, brilliant narration
This is the eighth book in the series. Genevieve Cogman writes really well and Kristin Atherton articulates it to perfection and brings each character to life and ensures there is pace to the gripping story line. She definitely deserves and Oscar for her voice acting. I am sad the story has ended. Hope Genevieve can find another story in her for Kai, Irene and Vale. It would make a fantastic tv drama series. Or a Netflix series. Thank you Genevieve and Kristin- absolutely superb.

Very average
This was a little on the dull side.
And a little too draw out for me this time too, particularly the ending. Taken all-in-all though it was a reasonable resolution to the series. And, had Katherine been in any subsequent ones I wouldn’t have continued reading them anyway. Far too annoying a character.
The narrator was absolutely brilliant as always.

Completely entranced
Utterly & absolutely hooked from book one & listened to them all back to back. Genevieve Cogman's writing is magical. I liked that each book is stand alone, but is so much more cohesive when taken as a series. As each character grows & develops one becomes more invested in their individual stories as well as the main plot. As a team, their journeys of discovery & their adventures together are important, because each character has her/his own strengths & weaknesses. As in life, true friendship is based on love & affection which covers all (or most) misdemeanours. Kristen Atherton is a skillful narrator & brings the characters to life, her accents are marvellous, timbre & tone, humour, bitterness, joy, all present in her beautiful voice. I may be in love with that voice!
