Inquisitor’s Apprentice

review 1: 3.5 stars. I adore "The Inquisitor's Apprentice" and was therefore thrilled that Moriarty gave me a chance to return to its world. While this sequel didn't live up to its predecessor, it's still an enjoyable read. I felt that the book suffered from the fact that protagonist Sacha is merely an observer for most of the first third to half of the book; the driving sense of adventure and discovery of the first book was missing. However, the action picked up by the end of the story, as evil entrepeneur JP Morgaunt is up to further shenanigans involving Sacha's golem, introduced in the first novel. I also have to commend Moriarty again for her incorporation of real-life history into the novel; in this case, the labor movement of the early twentieth century.
review 2:... more This is author Moriarty’s second book in her INQUISITOR’S APPRENTICE series. I would recommend reading the series in order. This excellent book satisfies on many levels. It is a peek inside a gentle community and time that is unfortunately long past. Add to this background great characters and amazing, imaginative, fantastical magic and you get an unforgettable book. I hope that the author will grace us with more. less
