(4) YA Dark Reflections Trilogy series. Translated by Elizabeth D. Crawford. With Venice overtaken by the Egyptian empire, orphan Merle escapes with a stone lion and a disembodied goddess to seek help from the ruler of Hell. Meanwhile, Merle's best friend Serafin joins a sphinx's plot to overthrow the Pharaoh. The alternation of narratives leaches tension from the near-constant action, but Meyer's strong characters effectively ground his deeply complex plot.
