ADVANCED READER COPY REVIEW
(Not a book synopsis)

The Dark City, Relic Master, reminded me of another series, The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney . The similarities are mostly with the "journey based story" and the "aging master and promising pupil" . The story is a long journey towards an undefined goal, similiar to Incarceron. Even though the story is not fast moving it remains engaging. The world that Fisher creates is intriguing yet lacking depth. Everytime I started to get drawn in, the subject was changed in the book. I normally do not put books down for more 1 day, I went a day or two without reading this one and did not feel the I-cannot-wait-to-find-out-what-happens-next pains that normally plague this book lovers thoughts.

I will read the next installements to see if the story picks up the pace. I did like the cover and the illustrations/quotes that introduced each chapter. The pave of the book was smooth, I would call it a relaxing read. I never felt stressed or frustrated due to plot developments. Overall not a bad read but, it wouldn't be the first book I would suggested to a friend.
