Dark Thane is the second of Miller Lau’s "The Last Clansman" fantasy novels. It takes place 16 years after Talisker, and returns us to the magical world of Sutra.
Dark Thane is the second of Miller Lau’s "The Last Clansman" fantasy novels. It takes place 16 years after Talisker, and returns us to the magical world of Sutra.
Readers who enjoyed the first book will be pleased that Duncan Talisker and his friend Alessandro Chaplin reappear, joined this time by Talisker’s daughter, Regan; his adoptive son, Tristan; and Regan’s treacherous advisor, Jahl. 16-year-old Tristan has inherited the title of Thane of Soulis Mor, but he’s physically disabled and fears the other thanes won’t accept him. Regan claims to be his twin, although they’re not really related at all. They begin to rule together, but the more powerful Regan is too willing to follow the advice of the mysterious Jahl. He has a strange hold over her and soon turns her already ambiguous soul towards darkness. When Tristan’s life is threatened, he’s sent through a magical portal to contemporary Edinburgh. But Jahl finds a way to follow him, and soon our world is in as much danger as Sutra.
Miller Lau has woven a tale with plenty of intrigue and sword-wielding action--and a couple of splendid dragons. It moves along at a fast pace, but many of her characters are strangely passive and rather too prone to tears, especially Tristan. The only character with a real agenda is Jahl, while the others only react to events. This weakens the impact of what would otherwise be a fine classic fantasy.--Elizabeth Sourbut

Talisker is startlingly good fantasy
