5.0 out of 5 stars Book Three : Aenir, December 20, 2000

By	"shayamorph" - See all my reviews

Once again Garth Nix brings The Seventh Tower series to the magic it has had since the first book, and Book Three surpasses the past two books by far as Tal and Milla question their trust in each other. In Aenir, a dreamworld full of strange magic and mystical creatures, Tal and Milla must make a fateful decision. Unfortunately, Tal decides without Milla's approval, and the two are thrown into betrayal. Fiendish Storm Shepherds , Waspwyrms , and a horrible figure named Hazror seek to destroy the two. But is Aenir a world of dreams -- or nightmares?

5.0 out of 5 stars Will a rushed decision make him her enemy?, March 18, 2001

By	Clarissa (Harvey, LA Harvey) - See all my reviews

Tal and Milla are in Aenir. And just when they were starting to trust each other, Tal makes a drastic decision and Milla will never be able to forgive him. They go their separate ways, Tal searching for the Codex and Milla searching for both information and a way out. But Aenir is full of dangers that even Tal could never imagine, dangers that are completely unfamiliar to Milla. Tal finds out that the only way Tal can get the Codex is with Milla's help. The problem is that she would most likely kill him if she ever saw him again. The third book in this series was just as good, if not better, than the first two. Garth Nix did an excellent job and leaves you wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aenir, February 28, 2001

By	"francomovie" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

The third installment in the seventh tower series is a lot more unexpected than the first two. It is a complete page turner and it is better than the first two. Not to be missed. I also like the cliffhanger ending because you just can't wait to read more and more and more, and I like that. Please tell me if this review was helpful to you. Thank you
