Summary: Oh dear.....
Comment: Overall, World Fall did a miserable job in continuing the genious that Circle at Center began. The entire book seems to be in a hurry to get no where. Large scale events unfold far too quickly, but all the events collectively adavance the plot little. Niles moves over some things so quickly that he leaves many obvious holes in the plot. I think Nile's goal was to leave you hanging at the end, but I don't like the way he went about doing it. It came across as if he just ran out of ideas and decided to stop where he was and move on to book three. Apparently Niles was also doing some experiemting with word repetition. He wanted to know how many times he could repeat the word "facade" before the reader would chuck the book across the room. It happend somewhere around number 57 for me. The only reason that give this book 2 stars is that I have enjoyed reading other novels by Mr. Niles in the past, and it pains me so to tear this one apart. i sincerely hope that the conclusion to the trilogy will make up for the disaster of World Fall.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent fantasy novel
Comment: The world is composed of seven circles with the last one known as Earth and the fourth one called Nayve, a bucolic poster world. Harmoniously co-existing with no knowledge of war in Nayve are druids, fairies, elves and other creatures. Three centuries ago, it was foretold that Nayve was going to come under attack so the druid Miradel called a dying warrior Natac from Earth so he can assemble an army and then fight a war. Although they were victorious, Miradel was killed and was sent back to the seventh circle where she had to live seven lives before she was allowed to come back to Nayve and Natac.
In this time and place, the realm of the lord of the Death threatens the circles. Karlath-Fayd, whose minions are the souls of people who died by violence, wants to extend his dominion. To that end he has under control, although they don't know it, the evil arcane dwarf Zystyl and the leader of the harpies in the sixth circle known as Overworld. Miradel and Natac team up once again with their allies, both old and new to stop the latest threat to their world.
In this second installment of the Seven Circles Trilogy, readers will become reacquainted with friends (and enemies) they met in CIRCLE AT CENTER. Douglas Niles so eloquently describes each circle readers will have a vivid visual image of each land. Fans of Tolkien and Brooks will love this epic fantasy and eagerly await the next book in this series (which can't come too soon for this reviewer).
