Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Catherine Fisher has created in The Relic Master a fantastical world where the characters embark on a glorious adventure which leads them deep into the labyrinth, taking a firm grip on the imagination as the journey to the centre of the derelict city of Tasceron begins.

Once the home of great temples, magical relics and, most importantly, the House of Trees, the Wounded City has been taken over by the Watch and their evil masters, making it almost impassable to ordinary folk. As Galen, Raffi and their enigmatic companion Carys--each with very different reasons for travelling to the heart of the maze--begin their journey to the centre of Tasceron, their bond strengthens and their friendships are pushed to the limit.

The Relic Master, Volume One of The Book Of The Crow, is a roller coaster of a fantasy adventure story that truly fuels the fire of mind. --Susan Harrison

Book Description

Outlawed and always an outsider, Raffi lives life on a knife edge. Yet even for him a trek to Tasceron, city of devastation and eternal darkness, is madness...

I'd been trying to get hold of another book by Catherine Fisher when I found this series. Although I still haven't found it, I'm glad I looked here - I found 'The Relic Master'. I was hooked because it is clearly written, and so imaginative. Also, it incorporates many intreaguing questions - who are the Makers? Do the hints really point to a sci-fi story and not plain fantasy? (You'll understand that when you read the book.) What does the Watch want? What is the purpose of the Great Hoard? The diary entries reveal the cold hearted spy to be - well, an unsure cold hearted spy. Although Galen himself isn't very appealing, with all his hardness and bleakness, you do find yourself warming to Raffi and Carys very quickly. I read a great deal, and I must say that I have rarely come across an author who writes such a detailed plot combined with excellent language. Read it. You'll see what I mean.

Format:Paperback
Clealry influenced by Ursula le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea, (and also to a degree her science fiction) this is a thrilling quest for two wizards, one old and failing, the other young and untried, and the morally ambivalent spy who accompanies them. The clever part is the idea of a planet which worships interplanetary travellers as gods. Lots of good ideas here, especially about the behaviour of a people under tyrranny.

Format:Paperback
The Relic Master is science fiction / fantasy at its best, tightly plotted and beautifully written. We are introduced to the world of Anara through the eyes of Raffi, an apprentice to Galen of the Old Order, outlaws that are intimately connected with the world around them, practice magic and follow the teachings of the Makers, shadowy god-like beings that came from beyond the stars. They are pursued by the Watch who belive the magic of the Old Order is illusion. The Old Order uses relics, odd pieces of debris of the Makers' culture that are tantalisingly recognisable to us, a CD, a watch. On their pilgramage to Tasceron, a post apocalypic city devastated by the war between the Order and the Watch, they are joined by the Watch spy Carys and a Sekoi, an indigenous Anaran half cat half human being. Fisher writing is so good everything is believable and well realised, an author I'm happy to have found.
