The Hidden Coronet by Catherine Fisher
5.0
(Originally posted @ CSI:Librarian.)
Like both The Dark City and The Lost Heiress, The Hidden Coronet was fantastic. From beginning to end, I was engaged, concerned, and so pleased by everything that happened.
The Hidden Coronet was the most event-filled installment so far, but it never felt overwhelmed or bogged down. Instead there is just one awesome moment after another and from a larger range of view points at a more rapid pace. I cannot settle on a favorite part, but I especially loved the Frost Fair, the way the keepers spoke to the forest to create a path, the Canticle of Flain, all the little details about Kest, all the snippets of various fairy tales, and Carys' experience in Theriss.
The world-building maintained the same level of excellence I'd come to expect from the Relic Master series, and the introduction of new characters as well as the way they were utilized was very, very cool. And the darkness that's been growing steadily began to really rear its ugly head, and I just loved the way Galen, Raffi, Carys, the Sekoi, and all the others have started to deal with it. And I cannot wait to see more of them trying to take on the Margrave.
In conclusion, completely awesome. If you aren't reading this series, you are really missing out. Fisher is a remarkable writer, and I cannot wait to see what happens in the last book, The Margrave.
