review 1: Although a little less strong than "The Lost Heiress", this is another great installment in the series, and sets up some drama for the fourth and final volume. I'm looking forward to seeing how all the character relationships play out. But Fisher's strength, as always, is her imagery and world-building. Egad, the imagination she has!

review 2: Huzzah! And here now is the review of book three. I'll keep this one short.Characters (4/5): Raffi actually evolved a little! Galen, while being the ominously awesome power-possessed avatar of the crow stayed static, but with some growing of Carys, and the introduction of the new char... moreacters, and the expansion into the realms of the Sekoi, Fisher actually did quite a well job of the character development within this installment. Pacing (4/5): Often I found myself wondering whether or not something seemed simply off within this book in terms of the pacing. The shifting of perspectives had increased in frequency, which sort of hampered the book's read. But when I realized that what Fisher is essentially trying to do is set the stage for the final book in the series, I guess the pacing became something less of a minor annoyance.Prose (4/5): Granted sometimes and somehow, Fisher seems to cast such vivid descriptions of the world around her with the simplest of words, every now and then within the moments, I sometimes find myself getting lost. Not like 'lost in the book lost', but like lost in all the action and drama. Sometimes I had to read certain segments of the book over and over again to solidify my understanding of what exactly was going on.Plot (4/5): It's more drama then action in this book which could or could not be a gripe for most people. Like I said before, Fisher is setting the stage for some really dramatic events to occur. I very much hope she lives up to the hype.World (5/5): This is where the author shines the most. The world she creates is so amazingly deep and vivid that I am certain even after I read the entire series I, as well as many other readers, wont know for certain the world in all its entirety. The cultural mythology is vague but beautiful, the snippets of the many works throughout the book are simply fantastic. All in all, tis a wonderful world Catherine Fisher has created. I am almost scared to know that the series will be ending with the last book...Totals: 4+4+4+4+5=21/5= 4.2: It will be rounded to a 4. Till next time peeps! less
