This book book picks up with Jason and the old storyteller escaping from their accusers and heading back to rescue Aria. But most surprising to them as they make their escape is that Jason seems to be the target and not of capture but of death.
We like Jason are left to wonder why. As Jason continues on with his new companions he hears further tails of Sir Cinaed’s deeds of valor in the past. Can the quest that Sir Cinaed pursuit all those years ago be a parallel to the one Jason finds himself on now?
I really enjoyed this book and was not let down from the previous two books. This one jumps into the action from the first line and continues on to its rather surprising conclusion. I will admit I’m not sure if the series ends with this book or continues on. The way it ends it could go either way. Personally I’m hoping for a fourth book.
Shadows at Nightfall is the third book in the Quest of Fire series and it should be read in order – so if you haven’t read the first books do so. And believe you want to read these books they are excellent reading especially if you are a fan of Speculative or Fantasy Fiction. Fans of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Bryan Davis, or Chris Walley will want to give these a try.
