But as far as molding Wrath into a compelling villain? Not so much. Pak is great about exploring Clark's new status quo and his unflappable optimism in the face of one defeat after another.

Clariel finds herself more trapped than ever, until help comes from an unlikely source. With the discovery of a dangerous Free Magic creature loose in the city, Clariel is given the chance both to prove her worth and make her escape. It seems too that the city itself is descending into chaos, as the ancient rules binding Abhorsen, King and Clayr appear to be disintegrating. Clariel can see her freedom slipping away.
