The Margrave by Catherine Fisher
The Margrave is the fourth and final book of Catherine Fisher’s Relic Master. The series as a whole is a bit thin on worldbuilding, emotional depth, and secondary characterization, but save for a minor drop-off in book two, it is a smoothly exciting read and The Margrave brings it to a satisfyingly strong conclusion… Younger YA readers ages 10-13 will probably happily speed right through the series. Older readers may note the lack of rich detail and have some issues with thin plotting or characterization or wish for a bit more interpersonal intensity, but still find it to be a captivating ride that ends in The Margrave with a richer, more sophisticated emotional complexity that had been lacking somewhat in the prior books. Recommended. Read the rest.
