Sword and Pen by Rachel CaineMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rachel Caine returns to the world of the Great Library for the fifth and final time, with our heroes now embroiled in some of their greatest struggles yet. As nations go to war with ships armed with Greek fire ballistas, and the Archivist in Exile struggles to regain his fascistic imperialist hold on all knowledge (cheekily, Caine weaves in more relevant political subtext by having him in pretty close contact with the Russians, and the Russians all but scheming to place a puppet of their own in Alexandria), Jess and Morgan and Wolfe and all the scholars must wage the final battle to save the world from extending into a new Dark Age. And that's really all I can say without spoilers, of course, other than to finally bid this series ave atque vale as it deserves.
