The Hidden Coronet by Catherine Fisher
The Hidden Coronet is the third book of Catherine Fisher’s Relic Master series, following The Dark City and The Lost Heiress. While book one was quite strong, the sequel was solid but a bit disappointing, hurt by somewhat weak plotting and worldbuilding. The Hidden Coronet is much stronger and a welcome return to the quality of The Dark City… Better pacing and plotting, stronger characterization, and an excellent ending make The Hidden Coronet a strong addition to the series, and the novel whets the reader’s appetite for the concluding fourth. I was happy to see the series rebound from the small dip it took in The Lost Heiress. Recommended. Read the rest.
