(3) YA Monster Blood Tattoo series. While training as a lamplighter, Rossamünd confronts danger on monster-ridden roads while facing intrigue and prejudice at home. Still collecting odd friends in unexpected places, the meek orphan slowly but surely asserts his strength and resourcefulness. A stirring climax is well worth the long, leisurely buildup; its power is in Cornish's meticulous world-building of the richly detailed Half-Continent. Appendix. Glos.
