About this ebook

A warrior, a shapeshifter, and a sorceress fight to restore stability and peace to the kingdom of Rhadaz in the third Night-Threads novel.

Chris, Jennifer, and Robin must save Rhadaz, a fantastical land that has been oppressed under false rule for too long. It is time for these three from Earth to save a planet that is new to them. It is time for them to use their powers as warrior, shape-shifter and sorceress to reinstall the long-lost Aletto to the throne that is naturally his. It is time for the power of the Night-Threads to overthrow the demonic Hell-Light as the planet demands one thing: One Land, One Duke.

    Okay, I see now why I thought this was the end of the series, back when three books was all I had access to - this does wrap up the instigating plotline relatively neatly. I'm happy to see there's more, though, because there's bound to be a lot of fallout there.I first read these (first three, at least) books as a teenager, back when I was reading literally every fantasy novel in my small public library. With a little more distance, I can say it's objectively not a great series. The pace is weird, and although it's clearly trying to do something other than Might Makes Right, the most interesting parts are still the fight scenes. The characters are pretty good, though - complex and rounded, with plenty of development. The worldbuildling leaves something to be desired (okay, why *are* there no people of color in this alternate-southern-California? They mention it, but it's still a thing), but I still love the magic systems. I can see why I liked these books so much, even if I don't like them quite as much now.
