jjzazzy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 NightRunner Series Lynn Flewelling Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness, Traitor's Moon, Darkness Returns, White Road Though to review a whole series... but here I go... A well rounded and throrough piece of fantasy writing. Very creative, a slighly different take on dragons, magic and romance than I have previously read. Reminiscent of Robin Hobbs work, where you feel the same deep connection to the main characters. The lands, politics and religion of the setting are realistic and detailed but not over complicated. It covers some very interesting international relations, diplomacy and wars. Definatly gay fiction, though it is subtle in the first 2 books. It is part coming of age story, part love story and part political intrigue thriller. Traitors Moon was probably my faviorite all around, with Darkness Returns being too slow paced. White Road was the most action packed, but you really would have to read all the previous books for it to make sense. The author has indicated it is not written as a series, more like ongoing stories, with the possibility for another book. I have added to my to-read list, her next series the Tamir Triad, set earlier in the same land, with high expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
