 "The Inquisition" by Taran Matharu is a thrilling continuation of the "Summoner" series, and it certainly lives up to the high standards set by its predecessor. The story picks up where "De Nieuweling" left off, with Fletcher continuing his journey as a summoner, facing new challenges, and encountering dangerous enemies.

What sets this book apart is the intricate world-building and the complex characters that inhabit it. The magic system is well-developed, and the reader is given a deeper insight into how it works. The political intrigue adds another layer of depth to the story, and the way in which the different factions interact is intriguing and keeps the reader on their toes. This is by far my personal favorite book of the entire "Summoner" series by Taran Matharu.

The character development in this book is also top-notch. Fletcher, in particular, goes through a significant transformation, becoming more confident and mature. The supporting characters are equally compelling, with each having their own unique personality and motivations. Matharu's writing is fast-paced, yet descriptive, and the action scenes are well-choreographed and exciting. The suspenseful moments are expertly crafted, and the plot twists keep the reader guessing until the very end.
Overall, "The Inquisition" is a must-read for fans of the "Summoner" series, as well as those who enjoy epic fantasy with rich world-building and dynamic characters. Matharu's writing continues to impress, and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for Fletcher and his companions in the next book.
