Fantasy series usually go downhill. Not this one, though. Carey's fourth book is as good, if not better than the first three.
Imriel's coming of age was such a difficult task and Carey performs brilliantly. He is traumatized and damaged and even though he has a safe home and loving parents now, he has to reckon with all kinds of darkness inside him and out in the world. And Carey takes him through each step so perfectly, with profound understanding of human nature and sadomasochism.
And on top of Imriel growing up, there is the fast-paced mystery plot and political intrigue that's the meat of all the books in this series.
Can't wait for the next book.
