"Packed with all the spell-chucking, city-smashing, limb-hewing violence you could want." -SFX" . . . an excellent capstone to a superb series of books. Barclay continues the fast-paced adventure and adds some great conflicting scenes of the Raven. It's not what Barclay's characters say to each other, but rather, what they don't say and is understood through sheer knowledge of each other. Simple exchanges between Hirad and the Unknown or Hirad and Denser truly make the characters interactions superb. Nigthchild is a satisfying conclusion to this initial trilogy by James Barclay.
