Now countless breeds of unspeakable monsters roam the countryside. An epidemic of madness has transformed peaceful villagers from the wildlands into savage, flesh-eating fiends. In Eslen, King William has been murdered, Queen Muriele is stalked by treachery on every side, and their last surviving daughter, Anne, has fled the assassins bent on destroying her family. Close on the heels of the runaway princess, young knight Neil MeqVren, the queen’s one trusted ally, is sworn to rescue Anne from her murderous pursuers. Anne herself undertakes a perilous journey toward the sanctuary of her distant paramour’s arms, but along the way lie the sinister agents and hidden snares of a sprawling conspiracy that few might hope to evade. At the same time, spies in the service of Praifec Hespero, the powerful Churchman, embark upon a mission to destroy the Briar King in the heart of his domain. And the power-hungry Church, spurred on by the mystical events, has launched an inquisition whose repercussions threaten even the queen. As the noose of intrigue tightens across the land, personal fates and a kingdom’s destiny alike will be decided in a conflict between virtue and malevolence, might and magic. The Charnel Prince is a great continuation of the Briar King. The favorite characters returned along with a few new ones. One of the new characters I particularly liked was Leoff, the modest musical composer. New dangers, betrayals, and plots for the throne await the characters. This story seems a bit darker than the previous book and like before, it is centered around Anne Dare. I felt Anne had matured a bit from the last book, as she comes to realize how important she is to the world. Overall it was quite an entertaining read and I can't wait for the next book in the series.  9/10 |
