Rejoice! Razo finally gets his own book!
|
Those who have already read "The Goose Girl" and "Enna Burning" will be familiar with Razo, the sweet but sometimes dense shepherd boy who became a member of the guard and saved Enna from being consumed by the fire. I really don't recommend picking this up without having read at least "Enna Burning" first, because it follows almost straight on from that book and frequently refers to it.
Now the war between Bayern and Tira is over, Geric wants to to establish better relations. Enna, Razo and Finn become part of the peace mission, but Razo is pretty sure that he's only been invited along because he's a member of Bayern's Own, not because he's especially talented at anything. But then burned bodies start turning up and the Bayerns must find out who's murdering them before the Tirans discover that Enna is the firewitch. And Razo finds out that he's not as useless as he thought he was.
Razo is an endearing narrator, possibly the most appealing out of the three narrators from this world. He is funny, humble and often shrewd (though he doesn't realise it). His journey of self-discovery, combined with his tentative detective work, make this book one of my favourite fantasy tales.
