(Jan.“This talented storyteller moves smoothly from Thriller to Fantasy. The Starless Crown James Rollins High Fantasy Adventure In a world where their earth no longer rotates, leaving one side forever in the glare of the unforgiving sun and the other in icy darkness, there is a girl who was found in the marsh when she was a baby, an unneeded prince, a shunned soldier, a thief, and many others find themselves on a quest to stop moonfall, but the king and the eldest. Readers looking for plot-driven fantasy will enjoy the action but shouldn’t expect much depth. Though the fantastical creatures and landscapes are imaginative, the fast-paced but shallow narrative takes the easy road by concentrating on a series of chilling beast encounters for Nyx and her party rather than exploring the tension between characters. As Toranth hunts for her, Nyx flees with a team of unlikely allies on a perilous journey to find her alleged father, determined to stop Moonfall before darkness takes them all. When Highking Toranth ry Massif learns of Nyx’s survival, he demands to have her brought to his castle her blood could prove valuable to his physicians and he fears she’s connected to the legend of the Forsworn Knight, whose alleged child was prophesied to be the cause of the kingdom’s downfall. But rather than killing Nyx, their venom miraculously restores her vision and imparts a premonition of Moonfall, an impending apocalypse. Nyx, a nearly blind student at the Cloistery of Brayk, survives an attack by monstrous Mýr bats, vicious swamp beasts with lethal venom. A young woman discovers her foreboding destiny in this fun but one-dimensional fantasy adventure from Rollins ( A Kingdom of Bones).
