The Dark Archive

De: Genevieve Cogman

Narrado por: Kristin Atherton

A mysterious archive. A powerful enemy. And a cunning plan. The Dark Archive is the seventh book in the Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman.

Danger is part of the day job for a librarian-spy. So Irene’s hoping for a relaxing weekend break in Guernsey, on the tail of a rare book. That's when her jaunt takes a dire turn.

Irene is almost assassinated, Kai is poisoned and Vale barely escapes with his life. Then the attacks continue in London – targeting those connected with the Fae-dragon peace treaty. Irene knows she must stop the plot before the treaty fails. Or someone dies.

But when Irene and friends are trapped underground, in a secret archive, things don’t look so good. Then an old enemy demands vengeance, and a shocking secret is revealed. Can Irene really seize victory from chaos?

The fantastical journey continues in The Untold Story, the eighth book in the Invisible Library series.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Atherton doesn't falter while handling the lightning-fast pace of this story as she sets the perfect tone for each new plot twist and reversal of fortune. She also manages to give each character in an enormous cast a distinctly recognizable accent and timbre, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats as they follow along with ease.

I absolutely loved this . . . flavoured with truly unique mythology and a dash of the eldritch. Such clever, creepy, elaborate worldbuilding 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)

a fantastic addition to Genevieve Cogman’s oeuvre, and paves the way for a deeper exploration of the fantastic world that she has created. (FantasyBookReview on The Lost Plot)

Cogman fills a captivating story with animated characters and propels the narrative at a cracking pace, planting perfectly timed plot twists and reversals of fortune along the way (Guardian on The Mortal Word)

Simply a joy to read - deeply atmospheric where it should be, properly exciting when anything's going on as it generally is, and tender too. This is a series that shows absolutely no sign of losing pace, and I'm already impatient for the next (BlueBookBalloon on The Secret Chapter)

Without sacrificing the adventure that is a hallmark of the series, Cogman pulls Irene through a multilevel maze of doubts and paranoia that will have readers jumping at shadows, too. Fans will be delighted to find this series still going strong (Publishers Weekly)

Librarians, Dragons, Fae and Detectives!

I adore The Invisible Library series. I was originally reading the two first books and then moved to the audio and OMG! The experience was thrilling. Such a great narrator and great character voices.

another adventure

this was another great adventure. there were new characters introduced as well as maintaining old ones. it was great for fans because it did reference older stories. and the main female character is still strong as ever.
can't wait fro the next one

Always enjoy Genevieve Cogman's books

Good read. Narrator has a very good range of voices and inflection. I highly recommend this book.

Fabulous

I absolutely adore this series! I started reading it years ago. After having children, I've found it hard to actually sit down and read. So, when I saw that they were being released here on Audible, I was so so excited! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to others

loved it!

Finally confirmed suspicions from prior books! This series gets better with each book..I'm going to be sad when I finish!!

love it

love this series! can't wait for the next book to download. this has certainly made the drive to and from work more fun.

Intrepid Irene

I enjoy this series, and the imaginative world's. Always entertaining. Fast paced! Watch out for dragons driving...

Narrator Change

I really don’t care for the change in narration. It completely changes how I perceive the characters. They come off as stuffier and less alive. They are more one dimensional. I do training videos, and some AI voiceover apps would have worked as nearly as well.

I don’t know that I’ll buy the next book in the audio format.
