A Little Knowledge The Split Worlds Book Four Emma Newman 9781682302910 Books Reviews
Things are getting tense in Londinium. Will is under pressure to secure his lineage, per orders from Lord Iris himself, while also trying to keep the truth about Margritte under wraps. Cathy's drive to change things for the women of the Nether isn't helping. Even though he agrees on most counts, the other men of Londinium are none too pleased about the prospect of their wives being more than arm candy.
Up in Mundanus, Max has started a new investigation into a rash of missing people, including his own father. As his case progresses, his path crosses once again with Sam, the new Lord Iron, who faces challenges similar to that of Cathy. Turns out the Elemental Court is about as eager for change as the folks of the Nether!
I love this series! With an undying passion! I seriously want everyone to discover the fabulousness of the Split Worlds and am so very, very glad that Newman has had the opportunity to bring us more installments!
As I'd mentioned in my release/what I'm reading post a few weeks ago, there are currently plans for a fifth installment to be released next year. I am dying to see how things will turn out for Cathy, Will, Max, Sam, and the others.
A Little Knowledge has started to address some of the questions of the Elemental Court and their purpose. We've also returned to the Sorcerer issue (no spoilers) and maybe a bit more insight into the plot there. But the true goals of the fae are still in question. What does Lord Iris envision for Will and Cathy's son? Why is Lord Tulip so interested in Cathy's "full potential?" And when will the people of Albion catch on to the progress that seems to be passing them by!?
Emma Newman's series is filled with fabulous characters, intricate detail, and tons of political intrigue. And of course magic and fae. The combination alone is appealing but paired with Newman's fabulous prose, the series is a serious stand out!
A Little Knowledge is my favorite yet in Emma Newman’s Split Worlds series. The series follows a large cast of characters to present a picture of the Split Worlds – the mundane human world, the fey world, and the Nether, the in between space filled with a fey controlled society reminiscent of a bygone age. Each book in the series is a chapter in a greater ongoing story and cannot be read independently. If you are unfamiliar with the series, you need to start with the first book, Between Two Thorns. Spoilers for the preceding three books will follow.
Max is trying to protect the innocents without the backup of a chapter. He’s also come across some information relating to his own past. Cathy is trying to live out her dreams of changing society for the better, but she feels like she’s having no effect at all. Will is thinking that Cathy’s causing too much of a stir and wondering how best to manage her. Sam continues to grow into his role as Lord Iron and to try and make changes to the ethics of his newfound business empire.
I really loved the insight into Max’s backstory, and I think his character arc may be my favorite. He and the gargoyle have really grown on me, and I’m still hoping that Max will be reunited with his soul before the end of the series.
The thing I’ve been most worried about this series is that Will’s actions – particularly using a potion on Cathy to get her to have sex with him – would be ignored or excused. Especially with last book’s assertions that he completely supported Cathy, I was worried that this apparent change of heart would cause everything he’s done to be overlooked. As it turns out, I shouldn’t have worried. Within the very beginning of A Little Knowledge it becomes clear (to the reader at least) just how genuine Will’s change was, and it’s clear that he and Cathy’s relationship isn’t being romanticized.
I’m still not a huge fan of Sam or his plot line. Besides the fact that it’s based off of his wife being frideged, I’m tired of his constant desire to rescue Cathy. It’s like he’s constructed this narrative where he’s the hero rescuing Cathy, the damsel in distress, from Will, the evil villain. To give him some credit, he will remind himself that Cathy’s capable of making her own decisions. I just really hope this isn’t turning into a love triangle.
It was fairly obvious that All Is Fair‘s ending of optimism would face some serious impediments in A Little Knowledge. And, boy, does that come true. There’s so many plot pieces whirling that I’ve got no idea how Emma Newman’s going to wrap everything up in just one book. I can’t wait to find out.
I received an ARC of A Little Knowledge from the Diversion Books via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Cathy is as determined as ever to reach her full potential, and that means tearing down the Nether Society patriarchy. She's just a little frustrated over how slowly it's going. She's found her old governess, and now she has allies on her side, but she's got more enemies than ever who may think that killing her is a reasonable solution.
Will is trying to balance everything and figure out if there some way--any way--to outmaneuver everyone's plans for him.
Max and the gargoyle are dealing with the sorcerer they have left to them, and what that means for their responsibilities of keeping the innocents safe from the Fae and the Fae puppets of the Nether. Added to that, they have to worry about what one rogue hybrid sorcerer is up to, and whether she still seems bent on killing them all.
Sam is figuring out what it means to be Lord Iron, and just how many enemies that may make him. He's also learning that he's far from powerless in all this. He also finds a potential ally in someone very strange.
My earlier questions over whether Will becomes less of a tool? Answered. He doesn't. It seems he's determined to become worse instead of better. Cathy on the other hand, is growing a spine and learning how to take advantage of everything she learns rather than simply being outraged by everything that happens to her.
The most interesting character in this book is Sam. He didn't seem to know what to do with himself from one book to the next, but he certainly does now.
It's interesting to watch all of the disparate plot lines converging, and I'll be waiting eagerly to see what happens in book 5.
I loved it. But I am a little obsessed with tales with faries.
I cannot wait for this series to continue! After starting the first book, I immediately went out and purchased the remaining three. Finished the series in less than a week, it was impossible to put down.
A wonderful, imaginative series. Newman blends an imaginative faerie tale with social commentary, led by a strong, progressive heroine.
