4.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable book, 18 Jan 2007
This review is from: Cast in Courtlight (The Chronicles of Elantra) (Paperback)
The sequel to Cast in Shadow, this book has a better plot line and a snappier writing style. Whilst Cast in Shadow was a good book, it tended to delve too much into the protagonist's angst and insecurities. A reflection on one's mental state is fine as long as it doesn't occur once every chapter.

Cast in Courtlight introduces readers to a wider aspect of Kaylin's world. We meet the Barani court with all its intrigue and pomp and learn a bit more of the history between the long-lived Dragon and Barani races. The relationship bewteen Nightshade and Kaylin is put on hold for most of the book but there are tantalising glimpses here and there of what may occur in the future. The plot runs along at a delightful pace, old characters are more fully dveloped and there are also some new, memorable characters to add spice to the mix. Most importantly, by the end of the book, one gets the sense that the character of Kaylin has grown and will continue to do so in the 3rd book of this series.

1.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant sequel, 16 Feb 2007
By J. colbourne "paddington" (deep in the heart of somerset uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cast in Courtlight (The Chronicles of Elantra) (Paperback)
This book is a joy to read, a good and satisfying sequel that builds on well laid foundations. Rich and intense without being fussy and difficult to read. Sagara has a fresh and humourous writing style that is a joy to read. Many fantasy writers have an unfortunate habit of getting bogged down when different species are involved in a story but Sagara apprpoaches this using a lighter less cliched touch and therefore the characters are believable and well rounded rather than farcical.
Kaylin's journey of understanding continues in this book and the mixed race society and politics is carefully and delicately revealed to the reader; whilst maintaining a fast moving dramatic, touching and often humourous plot. As you would expect it is often dark but as always the unflinching heroin, so human and flawed in character lifts the tone.
This book, i warn you, leaves you desperate for the next installment so if you're impatient i would advise you against reading on till then or you might feel a little unsatisfied.

P.S. My rating is screwed up because the buttons won't work. Ignore the picture it's four star all the way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Feeling confused..., 10 May 2008
By H. Haines "Book Eater" (South-East England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cast in Courtlight (The Chronicles of Elantra) (Paperback)
Having just finished rereading this book I am in a rush to get my hands on the next one! An incredibly engaging read and with realistic dialogue that is rarely seen.

However, it may just be me on a stupid day but I found that I missed an awful lot of important plot points. Everytime Kaylin comes to a sudden conclusion I find myself flicking back through the pages trying to figure out how! I also tend to gloss over whole chunks of text in this book when the detail goes beyond descriptive.

Of course the latter could result in the former...

Overall I would definately still recommend this book as a fantasy with original style, setting and plot. Just avoid reading it until your eyes go blurry coz the story begins to fuzz...
