bpk1982 's review for:

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare
5.0
adventurous medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I never got into her more mainstream series but took a chance on the “Swordcatcher” and was absolutely caught.  This second book is even better than the first with even more character development and so many plot twists that you cannot predict.  This has to be the best fantasy series I’ve read in a decade.  I cannot wait for the third book.
