Urth’s fate is nearly at hand as moonfall continues to wreak havoc on all of the lands. Nyx and her allies are determined to find an ancient weapon across the sunburnt deserts to the west. Chased by their enemies, they must cross sands turned into glass and face an archaic army which protects the artifact. Meanwhile, Prince Kanthe, consort to the new empress of the Southern Klashe, must help his distant friends while navigating the war that has spread across the Crown. His twin, King X, makes deadly decisions in his pursuit of Kanthe, and the Iflelen realize that the bronze weapon they have brought back to life may in fact spell doom for not only Nyx’s allies, but all of Urth. With Nyx’s power prophesied growing out of her control, she’s not sure if she’ll save the world or help destroy it.
VERDICT The penultimate volume of the “Moonfall” series, after The Cradle of Ice, has some exposition lag, but the fast pace of its action sequences will keep epic fantasy readers engaged.
