However, I will continue to return to the library apartment I've designed in my mind whenever I need a little liminal space of my own. If the series does happen to continue, this will probably still be my jumping off point. They are finally given a few pages of serious relationship talk around the 74% mark (if you want to just skip to that)! Thank you, Genevieve! I also finally got the romance I've been craving from the Irene and Kai relationship.
Who is her bio mom? Is Alberich really her dad? Is Alberich redeemable? Why did he turn against the library? After an eight book ride, I finally know! This book also delivers on answering those nagging questions about Irene's bio parents. The final chapters are thrilling and won't disappoint. It's so hard not to give away spoilers! The action really kicks off in the second half of the book as Irene discovers the nefarious forces behind the library and acts to stop them, save everyone and redeem the library itself. By the final chapter all your questions will be answered, the characters relationships solidified, and the main conflicts concluded.
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of "The Untold Story" months ago and have savored it chapter by chapter fearing it would be the last in the series. Overall I like where this story went the world building, the characters, the mystery, the magic, and would be interested in revisiting these characters in new adventures in the future. I have to wonder if Cogman had a change of heart about how she wanted her characters organized and decided it was too male heavy with Vale and Kai so she phased out Silver and swapped in Catherine. But in the last two books he faded out to be replaced Catherine. He had a place of prominence in the first few books and was nice opposite to Kai. What was disappointing was how some characters faded away or were replaced. Irene is a fabulous character and loved following her on her journey of discovering her origins and place in the Library. In what is supposed to be the conclusion of the this series (Cogman is not opposed to writing about these characters in the future but their adventure here has concluded), we get a lot of our questions answered about the origins of the library, the tattoo the librarians wear, and the historical relationship of dragons, Fae, and librarians.
