A Good Read, Though Not The Best In The world,
By Dale Perkins "BusyMom" (Encinitas, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Seventh Tower (Book 5) (Turtleback)
The Seventh Tower is an good book that is exciting and interesting. Garth Nix is a good writer, though not as good as some I've read. The book is clearly targeted towards early teenagers or pre-teens. Even-so, an adult or older teenager can still enjoy it, but it might not be the most "deep" book ever. Though the plot and story is good, it isn't the most detailed one. The story is fast-paced, interesting and entertaining though not quite as complex as other books. The setting is original and interesting.All in all, The Seventh Tower series is a good one, but not one you could read again and again. It's the kind of book that you can read once and enjoy alot (go to the library and get this).

Into "Battle",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Seventh Tower (Book 5) (Turtleback)
Garth Nix's Seventh Tower series approaches its climax with "Into Battle," a taut action-fantasy that throws a few new kinks into the complex plot. It seems a bit late to start introducing the main villain, but otherwise "Into Battle" could not be more compelling.Milla is now the War-Chief of the Icecarls, and is leading them to a final assault on the Castle. As she and a junior Crone infiltrate the entryways, trying to get airweed, they encounter Free Shadows -- which are killed by the ancient Talon she acquired earlier. But when she rejoins the Freefolk, Milla finds that they have a traitor in their midst. Meanwhile, Tal is struggling to find the Empress so he can tell her of the conspiracy. But after a harrowing trip to Aenir, Tal finally finds her -- a doddering old woman with no real power to stop the evil Sushin. But then Tal discovers the horrendous creature that is manipulating Sushin -- and his own destiny. Garth Nix packs a lot of story into six slim books, and managed a fully realized fantasy world to boot. Not many authors can create as good a fantasy series in dozens of books. "Into Battle" has one weakness, but is otherwise a magnificent buildup to the series' climax. "Into Battle" also introduces us to the Big Bad Guy, Sharrakor. Not personally, not by bringing him onstage, but this is the first we hear of him; it's a little jarring to have the sinister Sushin suddenly replaced as a top bad guy, this close to the end. Fortunately, Nix does sustain the sense of ominous mystery that this series has always had. And when he introduces us to the doddering empress and her equally doddering brother, Nix also hints at what's in Tal's future in this series, if he defeats Sushin and Sharrakor and doesn't die in the process. Milla has already gained her destiny, and we see her as a humbler, more self-assured warrior than she was at the beginning. "Into Battle" is a strong buildup to the final book of the Seventh Tower series, and proves again that Garth Nix has mastered the dark fantasy novel. A thrilling read.
