Interpretation As Books The High Priest and the Idol (Lyremouth Chronicles #4)
Nice series! (:Book 1 (The Exile And the Sorcerer) is definitely the weakest of all. Meaning its only purpose is to introduce the main characters and that's it. In fact, one of them – Jemeryl – only appears halfway through it. Therefore, the romance seemed rushed. As for the quest for the stolen chalice, it barely starts in the last few pages of book 1. So its main development takes course on book 2 (The Traitor And the Chalice).
Book 3 (The Empress And the Acolyte), in terms of plotline, is much muuuuch better than its predecessors. And the romance is already well established, but the scenes between Tevi and Jemeryl are still wonderful to read. I love the dialogue between them – there's no declaration of eternal love every other paragraph, but they're still adorable together.
Now I think book 4 was my favorite. Certainly, it was the one I read faster. The storyline is pretty interesting and deals with some issues that are problematic in our modern society. What is preferable: a dictatorial government or anarchic chaos? In addition, one of the things I liked most in the Lyremouth series was the treatment given to the villains. They are not intrinsically evil or one dimensional. Their attitudes, even if morally questionable, are made with the best of intentions. Likewise, the heroes aren't completely good. Jemeryl finds herself in an uncomfortable situation in book 3 and ends up making a purely selfish decision. In book 4, Tevi does the same thing.
But anyway, the series as a whole is pretty good. There are some technical errors (typos, confusing changes in POV), but all four books caught my attention. Especially books 3 and 4.
I recommend them all (:

Update: Now I know why book 1 seems incomplete without book 2. They were originally published as one, named Lorimar's Chalice.

Another great story in the Lyremouth series. The story did not had exactly the "romantic" scene that I was hoping for, but it was still worth the reading. There were moments in the story that made me feel sad for certain characters and some were I was mad for the naiveness and evilness, which is good. I love stories that give me emotions, because very few do that. It means to me that I am really into the story. I like the ending, since it was a happy one. I also like the change of mood orSo, to summarize my review: this book was a surprising letdown as the last book in the series, if only due to the last 20% or so.Maybe that's due to how much I despise useless pacifism that cares more about general hurt for everyone than about stopping individuals doing the hurting. But it's also about how Jemeryl took up that idealistic bullshit at the end, and the only explanation for her rather pronounced change of heart was the weak excuse that she didn't feel it was right for her to seek
liked this least of the series and it had some weird politics

I didnt mean to read a book in-between finishing this one and attempting to write a review, but I did. Makes it harder now to write a review.This is the final book in this particular series, and a definite let-down from the prior book in the series. This is not my least favorite book in the series, though. In fact it might even be my second favorite the first book in the series was, I noted vaguely interesting, vaguely boring. Well I never really felt bore, per se, with this book here. Though

This, the latest of the Lyremouth chronicles, has great plot hook. Someone is trying to remove magic from the world, and succeeding. The plotting here is much tighter than in the previous books and really top notch. The reason I'm giving this book one fewer star than the last three is the ending. The whole thing is a bit of a downer and there didn't seem to be enough catharis for me. It seemed a bit out of character. Maybe the characters are simply changing in ways I don't like, but I expected
