Rating:  Summary: Meh Review: The Legend of Nightfall is my favourite book to date ( and I've read a lot of books ), all I have to say is...why is it not available in hardcover? I've looked far and wide for a more durable form of "Nightfall". This book is also my brother's favourite book, and as we are both avid readers, a hardcover copy of Nightfall would benefit us greatly in our travels...please help. Innis.
Rating:  Summary: This book was the best of Mickey Zucker Reichert's. EVER. Review: This book is an awesome book that anyone who likes Fantasy books would love. It takes you into the personal life of Nightfall, a thief, an assasin, a person with magic abilties, and mainly a legend. It also goes and interweaves a new twist of sorcery. The sorcerors are portrayed as evil and Reichert gives them different powers then many books that go with the traditional magician who reads and studies books. This twist intensifies the book and a large piece of what makes the book so good. I became enthralled in Nightfall's adventures and terrors as inhuman sorcerors tracked him. If none of this convinces you simply must read the book. This book is simply unbelievable
Rating:  Summary: Couldn't put it down Review: This book was completely captivating and well written. I think this story shows how rumors and legends can overtake reality... Nightfall isn't quite the big, bad demon that legend makes him out to be; he's got weaknesses and strengths like anyone else. This made his character (and the story) very believable. Prince Edward's incredible naivete was humorous, but as the story progresses, he begins to learn more and to grow up. At times in the beginning of the book, I wanted to throttle him because of that innocence, but as the story progressed, his character began to mature. One thing that was completely unique was Nightfall's magical ability to change his weight, thus greatly contributing to his success as a thief. I don't recall ever seeing this ability used in any other book I've read, and I loved the uniqueness of it. His ability allows him to become heavier (to stand firm or balance) and become lighter (to lessen the impact of a fall or climb more easily). I was completely involved in this book and could not put it down (even though that meant staying up past four in the morning to finish it!) Definitely glad I bought this!
Rating:  Summary: Meh Review: This book was okay. It did not grab me the way many books do. I finished it and the story was all right, but the pacing of the book was not good. Exciting fights read slowley, conversations dragged on, and so on. If you like characters that are simple to understand and a simple story this is a good book for you. I would defiantly rate it as a 'beach book.' It's a book you can pick up and put down and have it out of your head as soon as it's down. Sorry for the mediocer review but it's not a wonderful book.
Rating:  Summary: One of the Best Review: This is one of the first books I read by Reichert, and I loved it. The characters are well developed, and you truly sympathize with this poor thief. Don't read this before bed - you'll spend 1/2 the night finishing it.

Rating:  Summary: Reichert's best by far. Review: This is something unusual among fantasy books - a single volume story that is self-contained! And its a really good one too. This is the story of Nightfall, a thief, assassin, legend, and - unbeknonst to all - a user of Magic. But after he is captured by a king, he is forced by a magical geas to serve the king's son, a naive prince named Edward. Nightfall must act as the prince's squire - and not let anyone else know that he was once Nightfall. Naturally, the bitter, cynical Nightfall and the idealistic Edward do not get on. But Reichert smoothly shows how Nightfall and Edward both influence each other, and for the better. At the same time, Reichert delivers a breakneck-paced plot involving a nefarious scheme by the king's chanchellor (who is also an evil sorcerer) to kill the prince and take the throne for himself. There are echos of Don Quixote here, but this is a fast read, and thoroughly enjoyable. Very recommended.
