The Palace of Glass by Django Wexler  {Reviewed by STELLA} The third in 'The Forbidden Library' series, The Palace of Glass is the best yet! Alice, having discovered Geryon’s role in the disappearance of her father, is determined to get the better of him, and put the wrongs to right. To do this she has to ask for Ending’s help. Ending, a giant talking cat, is the guardian of Geryon’s Library. Alice doesn’t know whether she can trust Ending, but she has little choice - Ending can help her discover new powers and give her the information she needs to overturn Geryon’s power. When Geryon is called away to a meeting with the other old Readers, Alice sees her chance to enter the world which will take her to the Palace of Glass. She enters a strange world of fire and ice, meets a fire sprite, Flicker, who will be her guide to the dangerous Palace of Glass, where she must find a portal book with a potent spell, a spell strong enough to capture Geryon. Alice will have to gather her magical creatures and her powers, and keep her wits about her as she battles her foes and her supposed allies. Who can she trust? And where will this confrontation take her? The 'Forbidden Library' series is a great adventure with a remarkable heroine. There’s much to think about here, with lessons about power and corruption, loyalty and trustworthiness, all wrapped up in a compelling story about a girl who wants to do the right thing by her fellow apprentices and by the amazing magical creatures who have been cajoled and trapped by the might of the Readers.
