The Masked City is Genevieve Cogman’s second book in her Invsible Library fantasy series (involving functionally immortal agents of a powerful Library who have access to the source language of the universe*). I should have put this one a while back, but I got distracted and am only now taking up the series again. It’s quite fun! And I like Genevieve. People should buy her books when they come out, and say nice things to her at conventions. Continue reading Book of the Week: The Masked City.

…This is an exercise in frustration.
So I ordered Genevieve Cogman’s The Invisible Library and The Masked City, because you can do that when you have third-party sellers who find this nonsense about different printing schedules in the USA and the UK as pointless as I do. And the books will arrived! Half of the books have arrived! …Out of order. The first book in the series is still in the mail. And I will probably get it… tomorrow. Wednesday at the latest. Meanwhile, there’s the second book in the series, and it taunts me. TAUNTS!
…What?. This is actually messing up my schedule. I fully expect that The Invisible Library will end up making Book of the Week as soon as I get to actually read it: Genevieve Cogman is one of the few people out there who I will actually admit is a better writer than I am. So I’d like the book now, please.
ZOMG Genevieve Cogman is guest-blogging for Charlie Stross!
AND she’s going to have books out in the USA in April! Excuse me: I need to go order The Invisible Library and The Masked City
:type type type:
Annnnnd… done! Should get copies in my hands by the middle of next month – what’s that? They said ‘April?’ Yes, well, that’s for people who don’t know their way around Amazon.

PS: For those wondering why I’m so excited, let me put it this way: back in the late Nineties I did a lot of fan stuff for a roleplaying game called In Nomine. It still remains my favorite RPG setting (angels and demons on modern earth), in fact. I am not going to be modest, here: I was very good.
Genevieve was better.
