Cast in Secret Chronicles of Elantra Book 3 Michelle Sagara 9780373802807 Books

It's a book about resentment, about fear and the suffering it causes...and it's a book about hope and forgiveness and joy, things that mark us even more deeply than the pain, if we let them. Kaylin and Severn's relationship feels more ordinary, here. It's less constrained by horror and bitter hate on Kaylin's side, and by guilt, grief and anger on Severn's. The everyday-ness of their interchanges helps balance their work in unraveling the catastrophe that threatens their city. Kaylin does a huge amount of growing up in this book, though being Kaylin, she does it with little grace and lots of resentment. She does work her way through her own limitations in the end, and finds her way to grace. Some of the strongest parts of the book for me were Kaylin's encounters with the primal elements. Although their destructive power and grandeur are clearly evident in Sagara's writing, she speaks even more touchingly of their quieter strength in ordinary human life. This book marks a major turning point for Kaylin as she begins to see and understand maturity (at least in other people) and starts to see that her own distorted definition of it offers a disservice to herself and her work. Of course, Kaylin is still Kaylin, and refuses to learn anything too quickly, so don't expect her to change overnight, but by the end of this book she's started to value other people and their experience in ways she has not yet been able to do.

Cast in Secret Chronicles of Elantra Book 3 Michelle Sagara 9780373802807 Books Reviews

I really enjoyed the first two books of this series, and was actually unaware that she had continued. I read them a few years ago, and never really thought about sequels.
Then I found this one. AMAZING. Michelle Sagara continues to astound. Somehow, she's still fleshing out characters, while keeping them the same core person. Yeah, part of me wonders how often the world can be ending, and how often Kaylin can be the only one who can stop it. But it never stops me from reading, and rereading these books.
That being said, this one did seem to... Well, almost drag, I would say. I mean, the pace kept moving along, but it still seemed like a lot was dragged out. Like she didn't have enough story to meet her quota, so she kept filling in with other stuff.
Even with that, I've already ordered the next two to read, and I'm eagerly waiting to know what happens next.
I liked the book a lot. Very hard to put down. Still the plot had some disappointing backs and forths that hopefully will get resolved in later books. I was left with an empty feeling at the end. That’s it? The didn’t quite hang together.

Can’t wait to read the next one.
Kaylin is one of my favorite characters ever she is fierce and strong. She is the cornerstone that holds the conscience of this world together. Although she is sometimes clueless, perpetually late and always protective. Her strength is derived from her compassion and fortified by her power. Her humor and irreverence for authority makes her fun character to root for, especially when that authority could eat u (literally). I can't wait to read more.
This is the third book of Ms. Sagara's "Cast In" series, and I am fascinated. The characters are absolutely unique. The heroine (Kaylin) has a very dark past, an unknown future, and a consistently tenuous present. The heroes (Severn, Nightshade, Tiamaris) can be either villains and/or saviors depending on the circumstance. Secondary players are similarly complex. You are never quite sure what anyone is going to do, and when you reach the end of the book, you're never quite sure how you got there, or why.

Cast in Secret focuses mostly on the Tha-alani race, the people Kaylin fears the most, and the one we know least about. What we do know is that with a touch of their forehead appendages, they can ferret out all secrets, all lies, all memory, and are used by the Emperor as interrogators. If the answers they find are not to the Emperor's liking, the one being interviewed becomes a dragon snack. (A very good reason to avoid these folks at all cost, since the Emperor is a dragon.) Unfortunately, to save a child (and the world), Kaylin must overcome her extreme prejudice of the Tha-alani by working with them, and learning who and what they really are.

There is, surprisingly, very little actual action in Cast in Secret, more world and species building, more character development for Kaylin, the Tha-alani, the Dragons, the Oracles. Previous plotlines are firmly in the background, and are not advanced in any obvious way. Kaylin's Barrani "Lord" status is referenced, but seemingly unimportant. Severn is an occasional sidekick and/or bodyguard, yet rather dimmed in status. Nightshade becomes more an information source, less a main character. The story in this chapter is complete, but feels almost separate from the previous books. The lack of continuity is a little disconcerting, but I trust that Ms. Sagara will, eventually, tie it all together.

If you enjoyed the previous books in this series, and can handle a whole lot of mysterious purpose, I happily recommend this novel.
I find it hard to set Michelle Sagara as a five star when she really deserves to be in the realm above a five star rating system. I own all of her books and have never been happy setting them down in the middle of a story to take a break. As a result there have been many overnight reading sessions or simply falling asleep while reading. As I am not a person who reads and drops a good book, I have continually returned to her books to read over and over again. I also love the fact that she does not produce a multitude of short books but provides a longer and more complete portion of the saga in one book. It’s extremely hard to find such an interesting and exciting author who not only writes intelligently but also proves top rated plots, characters and excitement in her stories.
