Summary: I might die of exitement before the fifth book comes out!
Review: In this book we discover what happened to Tal's father. So the intricate web of problems and mysteries is beginnig to come undone. But new ones arise.

After their escape into the underfolk levels Milla leaves to deliver her information and give herself to the ice. But her seeminly simple plan goes awry when she is forced to go into the tenth Rockvir breathing pattern, the last resort to keep yourself alive long enough to accomplish a task. But after having managed he first part of her mission she does not kill herself since the crones have a different plan for her. Meanwhile Tal and Crow are doing the very thing that began Tal's adventure. They are climbing the red tower. As Tal and Milla risk their lives to prevent it someone is trying to do something terrible to the veil.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some enemies come disguised as friends.
Review: Tal and Milla have found the Codex and have escaped from Aenir, but now Sushin's guards are looking for them. They escape and are taken to the Freefolk Fortress, the home of the Underfolk who don't like being slaves, and meet an untrustworthy ally, Crow. Crow and Tal are going to climb through the veil in order to find a keystone, there are seven and they are the only things that keep the creatures of Aenir from taking over, which will help him free his father. Milla is determined to leave and tell all that she has learned to the Crones. But if she does, the Crones will most likely wage war on the Chosen and try to take over the castle, and that would mean that Tal would once again become her enemy. And in the Icecarl world the only way to deal with enemies is to kill them before they kill you. This book, like the others, answered just enough questions to get you hooked and left enough unanswered to make you want more. It was really entertaining and I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: The Seventh Tower Series' Above the Veil (Book 4)
Review: Tal and Milla have successfully infiltrated the Castle. They are hidden with a group of renegade Underfolk, who call themselves Freelies. Milla leaves to complete her quest, by going to the Shield Mother. Easier said than done describes it best. When she is wounded, she forces herself into the tenth Rokvir breathing pattern, one which will get the user to the end of their task, and then the user will die. She is attacked by a Shield Maiden, and ends up slaying her to continue on her journey. When she gets there, finally, she must be revived. If the Shield Mothers cannot, Milla will die. Meanwhile, Tal and Crow are climbing the Red Tower, when suddenly, they penetrate the Veil and Crow falls, because of the Sun's sudden light. What will become of them? Read Garth Nix's book, Above the Veil!

My favorite part of this book was the part where Tal and Crow were getting the Red Keystone with Lokar trapped in it. Every triumph for Tal was a triumph for the reader, and this, even if it was a medium-paced book, was still quite exciting and interesting. I hope that you enjoy this book!

When she is wounded, she forces herself into the tenth Rokvir breathing pattern, one which will get the user to the end of their task, and then the user will die.

My favorite part of this book was the part where Tal and Crow were getting the Red Keystone with the Guardian, Lokar, trapped in it. Every triumph for Tal was a triumph for the reader, and this, even if it was a medium-paced book, was still quite exciting and interesting. I hope that you enjoy this book!

Summary: A Good Series for Kids and Adults
Review: Th entire series of The Seventh Tower books are very original and interesting. I highly recommend them for anyone that likes fantasy. Also, I highly recommend you read the books IN ORDER. They won't make sense if you read them out of order and you will spoil some surprises. However, this fourth book is the most intense and exciting, so far. I just hate having to wait until August for book 5! As for any parents that are wondering, I am a parent and these books are totally acceptable for upper elementary and older. No sex, no bloody violence, no cussing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Above the Veil - The Sevent Tower
Review: The fourth installment of the Seventh Tower series accelerates the reader to new levels of excitment as Tal and Milla go their own ways. Tal is forced to work with the rebel underfolk called Crow to try to find his lost father and save both the Castle and the Dark World from Susin and the evil plot he's hatching. Milla returns to the ice and must then lead an assualt on the Castle. Both Tal and Milla grow inside, but their worlds are coming down around them. As the plot thickens, Tal and Milla's situations become more desperate. The end of this book, like the last three, leaves the reader on the edge. But, this time the reader is even farther out that before. The fifth book isn't due out until August. I don't think I can wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From Milla-Talon Hand herself
