Book Review of Shadows Return (Nightrunner, Vol 4)

Shadows Return (Nightrunner, Vol 4)
reviewed Flewelling's written another addictive Seregil & Alec novel -- when does the next one come out? on + 32 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


7/27/08 After publishing three novels in the Tamir Triad, a prequel to the Nightrunner books, I was thrilled to see at the bookstore a paperback *new* Seregil & Alec book. Because it's published first in mass- media paperback, I didn't have to debate with myself whether I should get it now or wait. I just bought.

If you, like me, have followed the Nightrunner books you're going to want this one. The paranoid Queen doesn't trust Seregil and Alec and sends them on an errand to her sister. On the way there they are ambushed, their escorts are killed, they are kidnapped and sold into slavery.

Seregil and Alec have gotten themselves out of some very hot water in the past and how they are able to do so in this novel is fascinating, diverting and wholly original.
Highly recommended.
