Rating: Summary: Where's the sequel? Review: Since I've already read Ms. Hamilton's work, I was expecting something a little different. The storyline is great - exactly my speed. But the story unfolds as if there was a prequel, and I haven't been able to find one. The magic and demons are quite interesting, the characters are nicely developed. But again there is the exception because of the feeling that you've missed the first book that sets-up the premise of this magical world. Customs are mentioned, but never fully fleshed out nor explained. The history of characters is also "mentioned", and used to progress the storyline, but without enough detail. Even with this criticsm though, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am really hoping that Ms. Hamilton will discover another adventure of Keleios and Lothor to share with her fans.
Rating: Summary: very disappointing Review: I was excited when I found this book...I'm a big fan of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. However, Nightseer seemed extremely unfocused and hard to read. I kept hoping as I read that it would get better, but it never did. Obviously Hamilton's writing has improved over the years.
Rating: Summary: I luv this book. Review: This book is a great story. I can't wait to read the other series of this book. If anyone knows the next series of this book please e-mail me.
Rating: Summary: it was good Review: it was very good but somtimes hard to follow. i kind of got lost in the pages. but the story line and the characters were very good and i dont regret buying it. im 13 and i think it could be a book for all ages
Rating: Summary: Pleased to be entertained by first rate work. Review: I had never read any of Hamilton's previous work, but with her novel "Nightseer" I have become a great fan. She has created a world that must be further explored and enjoyed by future fans. Having read this book I was prompted to look for the prequals or the sequals, unable to find any but definitely looking forward to them, I resorted to her other works. I was not disappointed. For anyone searching for a novel of adventure, magic, and thrills, look no further than this book.
Rating: Summary: A disappointment Review: This is the kind of badly written run of the mill "fantasy" that has given such a bad name to the genre. I can hardly believe that it was written by the author of the magnificent Anita Blake series (Guilty Pleasures, The Laughting Corpse and following - highly recommended). It must be a very early, infantile effort. I trew it away after 40 pages.
Rating: Summary: a geat book Review: I picked this book up when I recognized LKH's name, and was only a little disapointed with it because there was no sequal. I believe that LKH wrote a sequal, but the publishers didn't publish it because Nightseer didn't sell to well (read this in a newsletter). Since this book was republished maybe it means we can look forward to a follow up book. If you like the Anita Blake series I think you will like this book.
Rating: Summary: One of Laurell K. Hamilton's better books. Review: Magic, intrigue, love, lust, rivalry, and revenge. All the things a fantasy novel should be. I could not put it down. Once again Laurell K. Hamilton demonstrates her great ability to evolve a story into a world lush with detail and action one cannot easily escape from.
Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL Review: ITS WONDERFUL..... I'VE NEVER READ A BOOK WHERE I'M TOTALLY AH STRUCK. I BOUGHT ALL OF HER BOOKS AND READ THEM ALL IN 7DAYS AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE. I'LL BE LOOKING FOR MORE OF HER BOOKS. YOU HAVE A FAN FOR LIFE, BECAUSE I'M ONLY 26YRS OLD SO I'LL BE HERE AWHILE......
Rating: Summary: Instantly one of my favorite novels! Review: Ms. Hamilton holds her own against some of the best fantasy authors out there. Her characters are compellingly real. I haven't re-read a book so much since junior high with McCaffrey's Pern novels and Robin McKinley's: The Hero and the Crown. These are characters that stand up under repeated scrutiny. Anyone who doesn't like this book ought to get their head examined. If you liked this try the Anita Blake series it's really good. Of all her books this is my favorite and I am impatiently waiting for a sequel. This is one of those books where you'd like to explore more of the world and see what else is going on because it's so intricately detailed.
