Compelling Voice: The Language can be used for this, although it will wear off eventually and leave the affected person perfectly aware the something was done to them.Can't Argue with Elves: Dragons have many advantages over humans (most notably their longevity and their ability to shift between human and draconic form), but they act as if every aspect of dragon society is superior to all others and sincerely believe that humans should worship the ground they walk upon.The Library tries to stay neutral and avoids getting involved in conflicts between the two. Dragons, representing order, are presented as more reasonable on a personal level, but worlds under their influence have a tendency to develop authoritarian governments.

Background Magic Field: The forces of order and chaos, while embodied by dragons and Fae respectively, are also raw forces of power that calcify and corrupt every world and every object they touch.Alternate History: Every "alternate" has a different history, for example the one that Irene and Kai are in for most of the first book is a reality where the British never conquered India and Russia colonized China and Japan.Tropes found in The Invisible Library Series as a whole And failure is not an option-because it isn’t just Irene's reputation at stake, it’s the nature of reality itself.

London's underground factions are prepared to fight to the death to find the tome before Irene and Kai do, a problem compounded by the fact that this world is chaos-infested - the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic to run rampant. The problem: By the time they arrive, it's already been stolen. Their mission: Retrieve a particularly dangerous book. Most recently, she and her enigmatic assistant Kai have been sent to an alternative London. Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of the different realities.
