Review: A Magic of Nightfall
Pat of Pat's Fantasy Hotlist -- if you haven't bookmarked this site, you really should, as it's one of the premier fantasy news sites out there -- has just reviewed A MAGIC OF NIGHTFALL., and I'm pleased to say that it's a very favorable review (especially pleased since Pat tends to pull no punches and plays no favorites with his reviews...)
The full review is here, but I'll give you some of the 'money quotes' below:
"Based on the first volume, I was expecting a quality read. What I didn't expect was that A Magic of Nightfall is beyond the shadow of a doubt one of the very best fantasy novels released in 2009.
"Farrell sucked me into this one from the beginning, and I basically loved everything about this second volume. It's now obvious that a lot of groundwork was laid out in A Magic of Twilight, and it surely pays dividends in A Magic of Nightfall. Concepts having been introduced and explained, the author can concentrate on the intricate plot....
"A Magic of Nightfall is a multilayered tale of politics, intrigue, religion, magic, love, and treachery. One that should not be missed. Definitely one of the fantasy books to read in 2009. With superior worldbuilding, a convoluted plot, and complex characters, A Magic of Nightfall is a wonderful read. Highly recommended!"
