Another great book from the fab Ms Flewelling May 28, 2007
Sarah Kay (UK)
If you've already read the first two Nightrunner books, you'll already be hooked. If not, I'd advise reading them first, so that you can see the development of the characters and the growth of their relationship.
This book is another captivating read, which takes place mostly in Aurenen. It's very different to the first two novels - the pace is slower, and a lot of the novel is to do with the politics of Aurenen, and the games of power. But I'm making it sound boring, and it certainly isn't - there is just a lot less all out action than in the first two books.
Another difference is in Seregil's character. Returned to the land in which he is an exile, he is forced to behave himself, and he spends much of the novel sad and brooding. There are enough flashes of his cocky former self to keep the humour in the novel, though, and we see a huge development in the secondary characters like Thero and Beka, who take a large part of the story onto their own shoulders.
In short, I loved this book - possibly not as much as Stalking Darkness, but I still loved it. More please Lynn!

With the third book of the series Ms Flewelling shows us that even a most accomplished writer's inspiration may fall short.
To create a world, a whole culture, is a terrifying task: it took ages to Tolkien to create one and he failed (in a masterly way, but he failed); Ms Flewelling is a good writer, but not as good as Tolkien and she tries in this third episode of creating a second world in the same series...
The Aurenen are not believable nor lovable: un unmeshable mixture of millenarian wisdom and unexplainable barbarity.
Ms Flewelling has tried to avoid the elf commonplaces only to be punished by having created a world no one would ever care to go back to, least of all someone as clever, witty, unconventional as our hero.
This third episode being based exclusively on this homecoming it results in a failure too: it is often boring, nothing of what takes place makes any sense.
And still...
characters are still finely pictured: even the formerly unsufferable Beka becomes nearly believable and enjoyable. The love story of Seregil and Alec is now established, lacking therefore the thrill of the first two books, but it is outlined with lovely subtlety.
Ms Flewelling has made a heavily wrong choice; everyone should honestly admid though that it takes a very good writer to write a good book out of such a deficient background.
The book may still be worth reading and enjoys the assets deriving from the previous ones, therefore the four stars.
Must read book whether or not you have read Luck in the Shadows and Stalking Darkness March 15, 2007

This is the third instalment in Lynn Flewelling's amazing Nightrunner Series (not Trilogy). This book sees Alec and Seregil go to Aurenen in an attempt to help Princess Klia gain help in the war against Plenimar. The character development is amazing and we see the relationship between Alec and Seregil deepen as well as seeing further into both their pasts. We also get to see a lot more of Beka Cavish and Thero as they become more involved in the story. The only downside to this book is that it was sometimes hard to keep up with the long and complicated Aurenen names and places. Aside from this, the book is wonderful and I can't wait for the fourth one.
first rate, another wonderful chapter August 27, 1999

A wonderful third chapter in the saga - the author fills in some of the blanks left to tease us in the previous books, but presents others to form the basis for more tales. Clearly there is a wonderful tapestry to be unfolded with tragedy and triumph still to come. The characters are rich and deep and the complexity of their relationships together with the details of the different cultures form a fascinating backdrop to the adventures.
Great Again! August 20, 1999

I loved the first two books in the series. Howevever, I didn't like it as much because it didn't have that urban touch to it.( I have always been a city person and like books that take place in cities cause they're more exciting.) Anyway, if you have read the first two books by her then you will love these.
