A few days ago I completed the sequal to The Dark City, The Lost Heriess by Catherine Fisher, and I can say without a doubt the story simply keeps improving. As a book two blog there may be spoilers so beware from here on out.
After Galen has been revealed as The Crow, servant to Flain, and one who has been in communication with the makers, he and Raffi must find the emperor's granddaughter, who The Watch, enemy to The Order is also searching for. As Carys continues to play both sides, she also seeks information about her parents while her scrutiny of The Makers is brought into question. The unlikely group of two of the order, a sekoi, one of the cat people, and a Watch Spy band together to find The Lost Heiress. (I'm so sleepy forgive the title drop.)
Normally the second book in a series can be slightly disappointing, or if not that just not quite as good as the first book. But I was very happy to discover that The Lost Heiress simply improves the story by introducing more inticute plot lines, showing more sides of Galen's personality and developing the complex mythology via chapter titles that makes Fisher's writing to unique.
I'm very exciting to see how the story turns out as I am now reading the third book The Hidden Coronet, I'll hopefully finish the series off my new years.
