Fisher, Catherine The Margrave (Relic Master #4), 445 p. Dial (Penguin), 2011. $17.
Violence: PG.
No one believes Raffi when he tries to tell them about the Margrave. To save them all, he decides to run away – and lands right in the Margrave’s hands. Now he must figure out how to survive, and hope that the others care enough to rescue him. The last book in the Relic Master series is more cerebral than the others. Rather than being defined by fighting and magic, it is defined by Raffi’s internal fight and his relationship with the Margrave.
While many questions are answered and problems are resolved, I was not personally happy with the ending. After so much dependence on magic and battles to further the story, it was difficult to make the change to a completely different kind of book at the end.
