| Raffi and his master are still on the run, enemies are closing in on all sides. Even some of their friends seem to be betraying them. | | Raffi and his masters are Keepers, they belong to the old order, who believe the makers are trying to return. Galen has changed since he was taken over by the Crow, in the first story of the series and now he is told to find the 'Interrex'. They will know it when they find it, and so with the help of the cat like Sekoi, they set out in a desperate search to find this being.
Their friend Carys still seems to be playing a double handed game, helping them escape and then telling the watch where they are going. Who can they trust in their desperate bid to return order to their world? | | Needs some independent ability as a reader, but is quite easily read. | | In this second book Fisher continues to spin a tangled web through which she skilfully guides her readers. She gradually opens up the plot so the story grows apace with each new book.
I really enjoyed this Fisher is an excellent fantasy writer and I would recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of Sci-fi writing. | | Other books by Catherine Fisher include Corbenic, The Margrave, The Relic Master, The Snow-Walker's Son. | | This review by Mrs Mad. | | Having tapped into the Crow, Galen is charged with a force beyond anything he, or his apprentice Raffi, has ever known. So when he receives a message from the makers urging him to find the Interrex - the child of the last great Emperor - he knows the keepers are tantalisingly close to revolution. |  Tell Mrs Mad what you think about this book! |
