The story was really pretty great, reminded me of Anne Rice’s “Claiming Beauty” trilogy, and C.S. Pacat “Captive Prince” too. I’ll give it a firm 4 out of 5, and hope it continues with these great topics!

Reading the series back to back, I admire how smoothly the books connect together, it's hard to believe that it's been 8 years between novels but this has been tightly plotted together for a long time.
Picking up 2 years after the events of Traitor's Moon, our heroes find themselves sent back to Aurenfaie to deliver a message to Klia that will bring her back to the war front, but on the way their envoy is ambushed and the pair taken into slavery.
My memory of the series is one of comedy, strong friendship bonds and crazy names, so it's been rather sobering going through these violent scenes again, there's a reminder that revenge is a cold burden and the welcome return of Micum.

A very intense read and i think that looking back on it, after i’ve read the next book, this will grow in my regard.
The novel is opening a new narrative arc in the series and i admire how the plots Flewelling creates can be both so self-contained and still epic in scope.
I also find impressive how in each story the author gives space (and individual plotlibes) to her main duo, even 4 books down the line with an established romance between them!

Another wonderful book in the Nightrunner series. I thought that Traitor's moon was the end of the series. Gods I'm glad I was wrong.I got through this book in about 3 days. I loved her writing as always. the detailed description of Alchemical items and procedures. I HATED some parts of the story, but I couldn't stop reading it. I loved the ending. and can't wait to read the next one and the newest one when it comes out.

Me alegro de que Lynn Flewelling retomara la serie Nightrunner después de una década de parón, ya que poder seguir disfrutando del mundo y de los personajes que creó en los años noventa es un placer y un regalo a los lectores. Nightrunner es una serie de fantasía de corte clásico, pero al mismo tiempo fue una adelantada a su tiempo debido a algunos temas que trata sin miedo, con transparencia y honestidad.
Shadows Return (el 4° volumen de la serie) inicia después de los sucesos de La luna del traidor. La guerra no cesa, pero la vida sigue y algunas cosas han cambiado en Rhíminee. La reina encomienda a Seregil y Alec la misión de volver a Aurënen, pero una emboscada en el camino hará que la vida de ambos se complique y dé un giro inesperado.
La acción se traslada a otro punto del mapa, se introducen nuevos personajes y otros ya conocidos cobran mayor protagonismo; además se desvela que algunos forman parte del pasado de Seregil.
Mención especial a los capítulos dedicados a Thero y Micum, y a las interacciones de Seregil con cierto personaje que me dejaron absolutamente boquiabierto. Por si fuera poco, el epílogo me ha dejado con ganas de más. Tantas que necesito empezar el quinto libro (The White Road) esta misma noche.
