Taran Matharun fantasiaromaanisarjan toisessa osassa on tosi-tv -meininkiä, sillä sankareiden touhuja seuraa koko valtakunta mukana kuljetettavien taikasilmien avulla: The inquisition (Hodder Children's Books, 2017; ISBN 978-1-444-92424-4).
Sain kirjasarjan Helmetistä löytyvät teokset nopeasti luettavaksi, joten kaikki kolme kirjaa tulivat jotakuinkin perä-perää luetuiksi, tai vähintäänkin läpi selatuiksi. Tässä toisessa osassa tarina etenee paikoin hyvinkin reippaasti ja sähäkästi eteenpäin, mutta paikoitellen taas on tavattomasti tyhjäkäyntiä ja selittelyä, niin että hypin sivukaupalla tekstiä eteenpäin.
More demons, epic battles, and fights to the death: introducing the unmissable next instalment in the New York Times bestselling Summoner Trilogy...
On trial for a crime he did not commit, Fletcher must face the Inquisition who will decide his future - the process is gruelling, lead by those who will do anything to see him suffer and haunted by ghosts from the past with clues to Fletcher's tragic origins. But Fletcher has little time to dwell on these new revelations when the king announces a deadly challenge to the graduating students at Vocans. One that involves entering Orc territory to complete a risky mission. With loyal demons by their sides, commoners and nobles, dwarves and elves must overcome barriers of class and race and work together to triumph. The reward: a fortune in gold, the safety of an empire and peace.
With the entire empire watching, Fletcher has much to prove, but there are those out to get him and it soon becomes clear that there's a traitor in their midst, trying to thwart the mission and create unrest within the Empire. With everything stacked against him, Fletcher must use everything in his power to fight his way to victory.
