This one was better than the first. Honestly I would love to visit the Library. Just think of all the books they have. Including the ones that don't exist. I was throughly enjoying Irene interacting with the Fae as well as the Dragons. 
 Irene was wonderful as usual. Thinking on her feet and doing her best to rescue Kai. Vale wasn't around very much but then he's not my favorite character so I'm okay with it. Although the times he was there I was glad he showed up. Kai wasn't around for the majority of the book. But considering he was kidnapped it was understandable. 
 Compared to the first book this one moved faster and in my humble opinion had a better plot. I think mainly because it pulled me in practically from the first chapter. The first book was good but I think I had more trouble submerging myself into the world. This time I had no problem. 
 Recommended? Yes 
 Buy/Borrow? I'm buying these later but I borrowed first, so if you want to follow my example. Borrow then buy,
