Bestselling author Garth Nix's amazing Seventh Tower series is back--now with a great new look!

The Underfolk are restless. For a long time, they have kept quiet, occupying the lower levels of the Castle. But now they are going to be heard... 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. The darkness is growing deeper. The shadows are growing stronger. And Tal and Milla are in greater danger than ever before.

Editorial Reviews

From 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good story about magic jewels and spirits

This is a story that takes me back to my youth. I remember when I had dreams after reading book six, feeling like I was in the world. Garth Nix builds a very captivating world, and I finished reading this series for the second or third time right after I graduated from university with a BA. In this world, there are two groups of humans. One group lives in a castle and there is a heirarchy of lower class citizens who don't have mastery over light and higher ranked people who have magical stones that allow them to wield different colors of light, and there is another group of humans that live out on the ice.

I love this book series. I had the first book as a kid and now, as an adult, I've only just found the later books. I'm on book four now and still loving it the same way I did as a child.

I am an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, romance and historical novels. I found this entire series to be exceptional. I am an adult and these seemed to be written for a younger generation but I could not put these books down!

If you would like some light fantasy reading that is different from many of the books out there, then this is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Plot Thickens.....
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2008

In the fourth part of The Seventh Tower Series, the story finds Tal and Milla separated once again. Milla is desperate to tell the Ice Carls of the dangers she has seen (and also to repent for her "sins" by leaving herself on the ice). Meanwhile Tal teams up with the Freefolk boy Crow to find and secure the Red Keystone. The story is somewhat slow, but takes twists and turns and ends on a very suspenseful note. A good read in the latter end of the series.
