Mrs Mad's humble opinion
8/10 You are working hard. Well done.
What's it about?
In a land where the Watch search out and destroy all those who belong to the old order, Raffi must use all of his power to stay alive.
What happens?
Galen is a keeper of the relics and Raffi is his student, learning the old ways. They are outlaws searched for by the Watch, who want to wipe out people like them. Caught in a web of intrigue, Raffi must learn quickly who to trust.
Anything else?
The first in a trilogy by Catherine Fisher, this book sets the scene, builds the characters and bodes well for the two follow-up novels to come. A good choice for any young fantasy reader.
Other books by Catherine Fisher include Corbenic, The Interrex, The Margrave, The Snow-Walker's Son.
Who says so?
This review by Mrs Mad.
The publisher reckons...
Raffi is apprenticed to the Relic Master, Galen, whose task it is to keep safe the relics of a bygone age. But his powers are weakening and he and Raffi set off to meet the makers in the City of Crow to find out why. Will they survive? Or will the ever-present Watch eliminate them.
