More About This Book

Overview

As they grapple with their individual fates, Tal and Milla become entangled in a revolution being planned against the Chosen of the Castle. But nothing is as it seems, and the revolution may be the cover for something much more sinister . . .

"Tal and Milla are no longer alone in their quest for the truth about their world. They have been joined by Crow, a rebel Underfolk, and his band of conspirators. They know many secrets about the Castle -- and are on the verge of uncovering the greatest secret of all."

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The "Tower" series is a reissue of an interesting experiment between Lucasfilms and the Australian fantasy/futurist writer Garth Nix. Unlike the results of many "packaged" book projects, Nix is a good enough craftsman to retain his voice throughout the sprawling adventures of the two fourteen-year-olds questing on behalf of their separate worlds. Book four of this seven-part epic opens with Tal and Milla trying to escape the Castle through its lower Underfolk levels. This undertaking puts them in the hands of Crow, leader of the rebel Freefolk, and someone else Tal must attempt to trust. As Milla escapes to her Icecarl destiny, Tal and Crow take on the Red Tower and its keystone, which just might hold the answers to freeing Tal's family. The derring-do becomes a little convoluted as the two boys scale the Red Tower's outer walls, poke above the Veil, and contend with monsters and curious alarm systems. Meanwhile, back at the Ruin Ship, Milla and Odris are put on trial for treason. At this point in the tale, readers' favorite characters are likely to be the Storm Shepherds-turned-Spiritshadows Adras and Odris. They are the only ones with a sense of humor! Reviewer: Kathleen Karr
School Library Journal
Gr 5-7-Nix picks his adventure up in midstride, sending renegade aristocrat Tal from the lowest depths of the immense, sunless Castle in which he has spent most of his young life to one of its highest peaks, and dispatching Tal's warrior companion, Milla, back to her ice-dwelling people with a warning that the Veil protecting the world from the deadly shadowrealm Aenir is weakening. As the author has created a very complex world in previous volumes, and the plot has gone too far to recapitulate easily, readers new to the series will flounder; still, the pace seldom lets up. Tal's affable but dim-witted "Spiritshadow" Adras makes a comic foil worthy of a Disney movie, and-sure sign of a Nix tale-the various uglies, from Waspwyrms and Dretch to archfiend Shadowmaster Sushin, are thoroughly bone-chilling. After plenty of narrow squeaks, exciting chase scenes, and stunning revelations (but no resolutions), fans will be eager for episode five: and voil ! It's already out.-John Peters, New York Public Library Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

    Great series

    I, being a 13 year old boy, love action, and drama. This book satisfied that craveing as I scoured the pages. The book is highly recomendable for younger readers, but i suggest starting at the first book, not the fourth.

    Well Done, Mr. Nix

    Although I don't actually like this book very much, there was something about it that kept me so into it that it took me less than an hour to read. The characters are well thought up and developed. The story was easy to understand even though I haven't read any of Garth Nix's other books. It's good young adult fiction.

    Good but too short

    They were good but too short. If I had all 6 books at one time, I would probably finish them in a day.

    This book rocks! I read 200 pages the first night and the rest the next day!

    This book is one of the best books ever. I always look forward to seeing Tal dig his way into trouble and Milla getting mad (I am suprised that she hasnt followed through on her thret to kill him.) All the books are but this book put a suprising edge on. Id been waiting months for a slight whisper of the book and none came so I went to the bookstore looking for two other books (protector of the small page/squire) and I turned around and jumped for joy. I read 200 pages the first night and the rest the next morning. I recomend this book to anybody who has an imagination! Read on!

    This book is the shiznit

    This book is awesome. Like all the ones that came before it it keeps you in suspense till the end that. The end is usually the climax. Whats cool about this series is the end of one book is told in the next.
