About this listen

In an alternate St. Petersburg, librarian-spy Irene faces unimaginable dangers – as her arch-nemesis returns. The Burning Page is the third instalment in the Invisible Library series from bestselling author Genevieve Cogman.

Librarian-spy Irene is on probation – and absconding from a mission doesn't look good. But when her escape route home goes up in flames, what's a spy to do?

It turns out, Irene's home, the trans-dimensional library, is under siege. Across dozens of worlds, its once-reliable Gates back to the library are malfunctioning. Irene's nemesis, Alberich, is responsible – with plans to annihilate the library itself.

To face the threat, Irene and assistant Kai are posted to St Petersburg. Here, Irene stumbles upon an incredibly dangerous – yet alluring – opportunity. It's a chance to save the library. Saving herself would be a bonus . . .

Brace yourself for an action-filled ride with stolen books, covert operatives, and clandestine societies!

Irene's adventures continue in The Lost Plot, the next captivating entry in The Invisible Library series.

Another great book

First I cannot imagine another reader. She does male and female voices so wonderfully. I book 1, I liked the characters. But now I am fully vested. They are developed wonderfully and the foreshadowing makes me what to keep reading.

Great adventure yet again!

The Burning Page is book 3 in The Invisible Library series and it did not disappoint. We see the Library under attack by rogue and mortal enemy Librarian, Albrich and Irene struggling with her duty to the Library and her duty to her friends. Testing morals, dealing with betrayals and struggling to survive all encompass this adventure. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves time travel, mysteries and different kinds of magic.

Audio performance was great as usual by Ms. Atherton. I love that her male voices do not sound like a girl trying to sound like a guy. She does a great job with her accents as well.

I wouldn't multitask while this one plays unless you like repeating chapters. Well worth it though.

Really good series

Very enjoyable series. Definitely kept my attention. Great characters and storyline. One suggestion for the production group is to modulate the volume so whispers can be heard at a level where screams won't hurt your ears. I had to change the volume manually throughout the performance. Overall great series.
