Review
"Multiple plots are detailed and woven together in an incredible fashion. The story yanked us along and we loved every minute of it--all the way up to, and including, the satisfying conclusion. At this time we would like to remind you all that this is, in fact, the second book of a trilogy. So let us repeat this. There is a satisfying conclusion. Let there be much rejoicing in the land!...In Noonshade, we are given everything that made Dawnthief incredible, with added layers of detail of the world and its characters. We are positively thrilled that we finally have these novels here in the US! Seriously, if Barclay's next novels continue to be this enjoyable, we may have found the guy that tops our Heroic Fantasy list of favorite authors. Noonshade bears a cover-quote from the late and great David Gemmell. It is one of the few novels that actually deserves those words of praise from the Legend." -- Elitist Book Review, November 6, 2009

Book Description
An apocalyptic spell has been cast, an ancient evil banished. Now the land of Balaia, still driven by war, must live with the consequences. The Dawnthief spell - designed to destroy the world, but cast to save it - has torn a hole in the sky, a pathway into the dragon dimension, and, through it, unfriendly eyes are turning to Balaia. With war already sweeping the land, there are no armies to send against the dragons. All that stands between Balaia and complete dominion by these tyrannous beasts is a tiny, but legendary band of mercenaries: The Raven. And if they fail, Balaia will fall beneath the wings of countless dragons.

This review is from: Noonshade Chronicles Of The Raven B (Paperback)
With Noonshade, Barclay continues the developments in Dawnthief, and gives further insight to the world and history of Balaia, and other dimensions which interact with it. Noonshade is as action packed as Dawnthief, yet Barclay shows an even better skill at clearly and concicely outlining character thoughts and feelings. He also masterfully brings together all the subplots of the novel for another strong finish leaving the reader wanting more of The Raven. I just started Nightchild after finishing Noonshade, and Barclay seems to have improved yet more, which didn't seem possible after reading Noonshade. All in all, this is a great fantasy series, and there is another series about The Raven, The Legend Of The Raven, with two books published so far. I look forward to reading them all, and reading any book by Barclay.
