Started this immediately after book 4, and will likely barge on ahead to book 6 after I finish typing. I think I'm just going to from now on ignore the lackluster reviews from old disappointed fans of the Nightrunners series. I just don't feel the same way. Yes, these new books have a different feel...
I don't care if other "true fans" were bitching about Sebrahn and how he squicked them out and how annoying these past couple of books have been because the characters are too reactive. This is that amazing part where character development happens. It is fantasy, you know, and not thriller, so it's ...
While I didn't like this book nearly as much as the others, there were some good points, and I did enjoy the ending quite a bit. Still, I'm not sorry to see this particular storyline end, I have to say.
Among the things I liked about this book were the return of some characters of previous installments, and the addition of some interesting ones. What I didn't like -and the reason I'm not giving it five stars- is that everything that happened was way too convenient to be believable. No political iss...
Perhaps after reading the much darker fourth volume of the series, "White Road" was less interesting. [spoiler ahead]The only mystery and suspense was determining where the attack would come from and when, as the main enemies were pointed out in short order from the start of the book, not to mention...
Closer to a 3.5 - I need to start by saying I adore Lynn's books. Her writing is lush, her world-building meaty enough for the most jaded fantasy reader to sink fangs into, and her characters are marvelous. I've followed Alec and Seregil from the beginning, and will continue to do so. The writing re...
I'm not even sure that I really want to read this one. Some of the characters had started to get on my nerves in the previous instalment and it doesn't feel as if it's getting any better with this one.
The Nightrunner series, especially the first two books, are among my favorite fantasy novels - and The White Road (the fifth book) was another highlight.Alec, Seregil and Micum feel like family by now, and I was disappointed that the Cavishes didn't appear at all this time. To make up for it we fina...
Seregil and Alec used to be my favourite couple. Back in the day, that is, with the first three Nightrunner books which are still among my all time favourites. But from Book Four, Shadows Return the series went downhill, unfortunately. Seems like the author has drained herself with the greatly imagi...
After a long departure from the much loved NIGHTRUNNER series, Lynn Flewelling returned to Seregil and Alec’s adventures in 2008 with the release of Shadows Return. Now the adventure begun in Shadows Return continues in The White Road:“Having escaped death and slavery in Plenimar, Alec and Seregil w...
