This time we meet the Inquisatrix. They are led by Mother Superior. A lady in black and scarier than any nun I know. Everyone is in search of a mask, or a shard of a mask. Its poisonous and no Arcanic can touch it without burning. Escape is the game for this section, but then again so is capture. Intriguing. Need to read more.

The Inquisatrix should not mess with Maika. She likes to eat people, and is way more powerful than even she knows. I am really liking the lectures from Professor Tam Tam at the end of the sections. It adds to your knowledge of the world in which the story resides.

So 1.4 starts off in a new place and possibility a new time then we left off in 1.3. I had to triple check that I was reading these in the right order. It would be too confusing not to. Maika has something in her: a god, a deity, an evil spirit. Something. It feeds on the blood of others, and Maika has little to no control over it. It leaves me needing more information.

A savior has come...maybe? The Dusk Court has sent a guide to take Maika to the north. But is he a guide? What about the monster inside Maika? Who is really in control, and what is really going on?

Fantastic. Do not make me wait too long for volume two. This story is so deep and involved I will probably have to reread volume one before I pick up two.

Not Bad. It seems a bit rambly but it's made up for in the end.

Not bad. Would be great for storytime.

I love Karen Beaumont. She has a way with writing a rhyme.

It's time to be different.
