Summary: Sweep Special Nights Child
Review: This book was amazing. The book tells about Morgans daughter, Moira. Moira is 15 and starts learning secrets of her mothers past and why people think Morgan is the greatest witch. This book starts almost a whole new series. I hope that Cate Tiernan does continue with the series now focused on Moira.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!
Review: This book was utter crap. I warn you now. Do not read it! It will completly ruin the series for you. I read the entire book twice. I can never read Sweep again. It's to horrible.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Aptly-Named Super Edition
Review: This is a new story of Morgan but not in the regular series (hence it is not labeled 15). Much time has gone by and Morgan has a 15-year-old daughter named Moira.

The book opens with a prologue not too long after Full Circle. Morgan has returned to Ireland and is helping to rebuild Belwicket. Hunter is traveling all over setting up the New Charter, the successor of the Council. But tragedy strikes and the book shoots forward 15+ years.

The story is told in alternating fashion between Morgan's and Moira's viewpoints. Moira is looking forward to her initiation and a boy seems to be interested in her. Her mother is immediately suspicious. Between that and spellcraft homework, Moira comes to learn far more of her mother's past. As she tries to deal with the knowledge and how it might affect herself, Moira gets caught up in events as danger returns from the past.

An excellent story that starts grim but is compelling right to the wonderful ending. Hopefully there will be more of these Super Editions in the future.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night's Child
Review: This is the 15th book in the series and I have got to say that it's better than all of the others put togther. Ms Tieran really does exceed herself with this latest instalment. I'm not going to give to much away about the story because it is so full of twists and turns you HAVE to read it for your self.
This book is based twenty years later than the rest of the series when Morgan is a full grown woman and initiated witch. The story is told by Morgan and her 15 year old daughter Moira.
The prologue of the book misleads you into thinking that the story is going to be terrible, but believe me it does get MUCH better. The Prolouge is so sad that it had me in tears! I did'nt think that I could possibly read the rest of it!
But as with all of the sweep collection it is full of heartache, love, betrayal and some serious magic.
This book will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I really hope that Tieran writes another one for the series because they just keep getting better and better.
One thing that I really loved about this book was seeing how much Morgan had grown and what had happened to the other main characters from the collection over the years.
If your a fan of the Sweep collection you have to read this book, but if you hav'nt read the other books I would advise you do so or else it won't be nearly as good!
I know you'll all enjoy this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She MUST write at least ONE sequel to this
Review: this was TRULY a masterpiece! its about 16 yrs later from when we last saw Morgan, and she has a daughter Moira Byrne. her husband Colm has recently died and Morgan is having disturbing visions(sort of) and there is some1 trying to hurt her and Moira. She finds that Hunter is not dead and there is something about Moira that she doesn't know. if you wanna know then you'll have to read it ; )

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but could be better
Review: Tiernan's last installment of the Sweep series seemed to take forever to come out, and when it did, it was as good as i'd hoped. The super-edition was much better than the 14th book, but it could be even better in places. When she was relating her past to Moira, her daughter, the memories seemed a bit dry, like she wasn't relating any emotion, only facts. Moira seemed a lot like Morgan, too much, and Tiernan consciously excentuated that.

The good things about this book were the emotions at other times. While some parts were too dry, others were perfect. Several moments nearly had me in tears, and I was ALWAYS wanting to know what happened next. The ending was satisfying enough, and i definitely recommend this book to anyone who liked the series.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Super Sweep?
Review: Well it was an okay book but left me empty inside. It was not as emotional. I love all 14 of the regular series but this one kinda made me mad. Morgan seems TOO powerful, like no challenge can come in her way. In the Sweep series shehad to figure out things and well there was a bit of luck to it. But in this book she can do just about anything. And Hunter dies in the beginning, that is what should happen, none of this o wait never mind he has been trapped on an island without food and such for sixtenn years! come on, like that would EVER happen. Moira is just a little twit with no real emotions. Plus all that happened in the book was WAY predictable. Over all if you liked the series and thought of your own happy ending on what happened with Morgan and Hunter, dont read this book. It is a disappointment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: just not the same
Review: well, overall the book was really great. it was satisfying to know what happened to morgan...but she just wasn't the same. i mean, lets be honest, didnt we all kinda love her as that young, AMAZING, inexperienced teenager? i know i did.

before i read nights child, i had read all the other 14 books twice, and even though i knew what was going happen, it was sooo sweet with hunter and all that. after reading night's child, i feel like morgan is a very differnt person than she used to be, and now i just cant go back to reading her as a teenager. i feel sort of...unconnected to her. maybe its only because i AM a teenager, young and inexperienced. but this new morgan seems sort off sad and depressed without hunter, and with hunter shes not at all like her young self.

so, before you read the last book, make sure you WANT to know what happens, and not only what you wish would happen.
let me also just say i thought i was really depressing when you learned that she almost died after hunter did, and then she chopped her hair off. it makes me wonder how much of the love in this book could be real, and if you can really love someone as much as she loved hunter. can you? i really hope you can.

Summary: Sweep: Night's Child
Review: Yet another lovely book in the Sweep series. It was very good with some unexpected events, however I was a bit disapointed. It wasn't as much of an emotional rollercoaster as past Sweep books have been. It felt like it just needed more to it. Also I wish it had ended better. I mean, I love the whole series and this book was good too, it just lacked some stuff. I was hoping that in the epilogue they'd say more about how well Moira was getting along with Hunter and about any developments in her and Ian's relationship. I still want another book for the series though (...)
