The cosmos consists of seven circles with the seventh being Earth and the fourth being the pastoral land of Nayve where sentient species live in harmony. The Goddess Worldweaver spins a tapestry that records all events that happen on all the circles. Druids, humans, fairies, elves, centaurs, dwarves and other fey creatures work together to make Nayve a center of culture and learning. Their peace is about to be broken because Karlath Fayd, the Deathlord who resides in the fifth circle intends to conquer Nayve.

He has sent his legions of ships containing ghost warriors into the realm and the sheer number of them almost guarantees his horde a victory. General Natac leads his armies in defense of the land while the druid priestess Miradel goes to the Deathlord's realm to see if she can find a weakness to use against him in the upcoming war.

Douglas Niles has the ability to construct a fantasy realm that makes readers believe that such a place can actually exist. Unlike the previous two books in this series, THE GODDESS WORLDWEAVER consists mainly of battle scenes interspersed with a glimpse into the fifth circle. Miradel's role is small but pivotal to the story line and readers will feel very satisfied at the way Douglas Niles weaves the end to this series.

Again, this is the case of the author running out of ideas or to many ideas that don't come across to the reader. This third installment was the worse out of the three, I would recommend reading it only because I read the first two. The plot becomes to unbelivable, I know this is fantasy but you have to draw the line somewhere, in other words it has to make sense. The ending was too nice and neat I dont' want to spoil it for anyone but I was a little disappointed because the first two were much more interesting!!

The last book of the seven circles trilogy is better than the first 2 books. As far as I know, there is no sexuality in this one. Also, there is an interesting twist to the ending. Zystil gets killed finally, and regillix returns to arcati to bring dragon allies to nayve. Shandira and Miradel take a visit to karlath-fayd only to be pestered by a giant gargoyle. The only thing that was bad about the book: There was numerous mispellings and typos. Also as usual, events came to fast and always weren't explained. Still, a very good book to end the series.
