Chari was slumped on a wooden settle that fronted the limewashed
wall of one of Bruhome's many alehouses. Her hemp bag, on the ground
beside her, had tipped over and her purchases were spilling out, but
she was oblivious to it: her head lolled at a drunken angle, strands
of bright hair falling over her face, and her hands flapped weakly,
helplessly, beyond her control.
WARNING!
This is the fourth book in a series, and reading this review without
having read the previous books might spoil some of your fun.
The story:
Two demons she has defeated. In her quest for the third, Indigo has
joined a travelling group of players. The Brabazon Fairplayers
welcome her, and she has comed to care for them as well.
But as they come closer to their destination, they discover that the crops are stricken by a plague of some sort, and they meet travellers whose spirits seem to have left them.
With the help of her friends, Indigo must find, identify and fight her
third demon.
Thoughts about the book:
Again, the demon is more than just a demon. It is the darkness of the
human soul, and something which is difficult to fight.
This book is almost scary, for this demon is so easy to recognize when it is identified, and is found in every human.
I have come to see the Indigo series as a story about humans, and of those traps and demons that we create ourselves.
