Thrilling, well-written, thought-provoking fourth installment in the Warrior Heir seriesBy TinkertestifyPerhaps the best-written of the Warrior Heir series by Chima - she develops Jorah Kinlock's character very well and gives him some serious fighting skills as well as some serious personal/family issues he has to sort out while going from combat sequence to combat sequence. The reviewers who decry the cliffhanger
ending are nothing more than frustrated want-to-be-pleased-now folks. The real beauty of this book within this series is that it adds a whole new dimension to the 5-guild world that basically involves a new zombie-like threat that is credible, disturbing and which provides the platform for some seriously good action. The ending does involve a cliffhanger...but DEAL WITH IT...and up until then the ride is more thrilling, action-packed and gripping-your-chair armrest than in the rest of this serious - which are all excellent books in their own right. Buy this book and have a thought-provoking, thrilling adventure ride in the world of Cinda Williams Chima. Highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not very satisfying.By Jerry HartThe book starts off weird, with a sequence that wasn't very involving. There was a strange sense of detachment to the horrifying images our hero Jonah was subjected to, and I just couldn't get invested. Then the story throws an overwhelming amount of characters at us, as well as a lot of exposition that is repeated a surprising number of times. And then it all ends with a cliffhanger, and I hate cliffhangers. Especially since the whole book felt like one really long prologue. I wouldn't even say there's much of a finale. It just sorta ends. Definitely not one of Cinda's best, in my opinion, though I'm still a big fan and will read the next book. "The Enchanter Heir" just wasn't very satisfying. Nothing was accomplished; it's all setup, and that bugged me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Such a let down....By Neen McClureI have read all of Cinda Chima's books (The Seven Realm's and the Heir Chronicles) and have enjoyed every one until now. Beware spoiler: this book ends on a cliff, big time. None of her other books in the Heir Chronicles series have been more than a one book contained story and I was very shocked when I could not read to the end of these characters story. I will think very hard on buying the next book = I really want to know how their story ends but she does not publish very quickly and I may have forgotten all about this book by then because I read so many books. Guess I will end this on a cliff and say I don't know how my reading taste will be when the next book comes out. They called it the Thorn Hill Massacre-the brutal attack on a once-thriving Weir community. Though Jonah Kinlock lived through it, he did not emerge unscathed: like the other survivors Jonah possesses unique magical gifts that set him apart from members of the mainline guilds. At seventeen, Jonah has become the deadliest assassin in Nightshade, a network that hunts the undead. Emma Claire Greenwood grew up worlds away, raised by a grandfather who taught her music rather than magic. An unschooled wild child, she runs the streets until the night she finds her grandfather dying, gripping a note warning Emma that she might be in danger. The clue he leaves behind leads Emma into Jonah's life-and a shared legacy of secrets and lingering questions. Was Thorn Hill really a peaceful commune? Or was it, as the Wizard Guild claims, a hotbed of underguild terrorists? The Wizards' suspicions grow when members of the mainline guilds start turning up dead. They blame Nightshade, bringing tensions between the groups to a head.Racing against time, Jonah and Emma work to uncover the truth about Thorn Hill, amid increasing concern that whoever planned the Thorn Hill Massacre might strike again. Praise for The Heir Chronicles: The Enchanter Heir* "Chima orchestrates a world gravid with smoke and grit and sudden death, throbbing with hopeless longings, messy affections, festering resentments, passionate hungers, inevitable betrayals, and miraculous flashes of beauty and grace. A smoldering story soaked in tears, sweat and blood, constantly threatening to blaze into an inferno. Spellbinding." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Intriguing plot and subplot teasers abound, and the book ends in a cliffhanger that will have readers roaring for the next entry. Chima continues to excel at building tension and populating her well-told tales with new and returning characters we want to know better." -Booklist The Dragon Heir"Chima spins a finely structured tale that roars to a satisfying conclusion." -School Library JournalThe Wizard Heir"Chima uses her pen like a wand and crafts a wonderfully rich web of magic, while thankfully leaving some dangling threads for subsequent tales." -VOYA The Warrior Heir*"Chima offers a pitch-perfect blend of high fantasy and small-town reality..." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) From School Library JournalGr 7 UpThe fourth installment to Chima's "Heir Chronicles" centers around two teens, Jonah Kinlock and Emma Greenwood. Ten years earlier, a massacre killed off all adults, leaving just child survivors known as savants, who are mutants endowed with skills that, once brought under control, can be used in ways to contribute to the survival of the community. Many of the them, however, require heavy medication and rarely live to adulthood. Those that die turn into shades, zombielike creatures that retain the memories of their past life and inhabit dead bodies. Jonah is a talented musician, enchanter, and trained assassin. His skin is poisonous and he can kill from a simple touch; his job is to rid the world of shades. Emma is also a talented musician, but unlike Jonah, she is not aware of her special abilities. The teens are star-crossed lovers with overwhelming obstacles blocking their paths. As Emma's world slowly converges with Jonah's, both of their lives spin into a chaotic downward spiral. Scattered with musical references throughout, the book also tackles serious themes of disability and discrimination. The cliff-hanger ending will leave readers restless for more. For those in need of a quick refresher, the author provides a series guide on her website.Sabrina Carnesi, Crittenden Middle School, Newport News, VAFrom BooklistSomeone is killing wizards and framing Nightshade, the secret organization whose job it is to track down undead souls and dispatch them. Jonah, a 17- year-old assassin for Nightshade, is also on the trail of wizard killers, but for a different reason: he wants to know who was behind the Thorn Hill disaster, where thousands of adult sorcerers and nearly as many children died. Meanwhile,
teen musical genius Emma, in search of her sorcerer father, lands directly in Jonahs path. He is smitten, but can he save her from those who think she knows the secret to Thorn Hill? There is plenty of background information in the interstices of this multifaceted narrative, but readers new to the Heir Chronicles series may occasionally have difficulty connecting all the dots. Intriguing plot and subplot teasers abound, and the book ends in a cliff-hanger that will have readers roaring for the next entry. Chima continues to excel at building tension and populating her well-told tales with new and returning characters we want to know better. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Its a big series with a big following.
