The Inquisition is the sequel to The Novice and continues the adventures of Fletcher Wulf who became a summoner - a kind of magician capable of performing spells and summoning demon-like creatures as companions from something called the 'ether.' In The Inquisition, Fletcher must fight to prove his innocence of charges of attempted murder and treason while also trying to save the kingdom from invading orc armies. Oh, and also help unite the human, dwarf and elvish races while at it!

I really enjoyed this one. It took me a while to remember everything that had happened at the end of The Novice so everyone outside of Fletcher, Othello and Sylva were not familiar to me at first as I tried to place them in my head. This meant it took me a while to get into the story but once I did, I loved it. I really liked seeing how the (corrupt) courtroom worked and learning about the Tirumvirate and seeing King Harold and King Alfric. The Raleigh revelation literally had me speechless but I loved it! And I loved Athena of course.I really liked seeing more of the works outside of Vocans and more creatures like the Gremlins and more Orcs. The ending left me completely heartbroken at some things, and speechless at others. I need the next book now!!
