This review will be short because this book is so forgettable that the details are already slipping away. It wasn't terrible, but the writing didn't float my boat, the main characters (Raffi in particular) were almost devoid of personality, and the plot's been done before and so much better. I love ...

Started 4/08/2015 Finished 4/09/2015 I don't really know where to start with this one. I never got absorbed into it. Never fell through the rabbit hole and lived in the world. The writing was acceptable. Nothing was overly flowery or burdensome. The pacing was good. Really there wasn't an...

For some reason, I'm particularly drawn to stories that mix technology and magic.***This has a lot in common with [b:Incarceron|332775|Incarceron (Incarceron, #1)|Catherine Fisher|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51baJ9ujjcL._SL75_.jpg|323310].

Opening: "The seven moons were all in the sky at once." First of all--the main twist of this book? I totally called it! At one point I was suspicious and shortly after that I became convinced and then my conviction paid off. I think it's essentially a function of having read so much of a certain gen...

This was an interesting book that had enough in it to make me want to continue reading. I also think I'll be hanging on to this for when my son gets a little older.

Fantastic. I ordered the rest of the series this morning. I love it so much. I will probably review this series as a whole because I have ordered the other three books, but I haven't fully decided yet. Either way, I am a huge fan.

I needed more from this book. I kept on looking for it and even with my sister's constant: OMG STELLA. YOU HAVE TO READ IT." I was disappointed by Fisher. When introduced to a brand new fantasy world, description of the setting is key. I find Fisher fell short on this and at no time did I feel like ...

We're having a really hard time judging this book. We haven't reviewed it yet, but we loved Incarceron - the writing was lush and beautiful, and the idea was amazing and unlike anything we'd read before. So we jumped at the chance to get our hands on a copy of the first book in Fisher's "new" series...

The Dark City is the first book in Catherine Fisher's new Relic Master series. It introduces you to Galen Harn (a Relic Master) and his scholar Raffael Morel--called Raffi; and follows their adventure as they search for missing relics in a kingdom where magic is suspicious and their Order is out of ...
