The Violet Keystone, Aug 24 2005
By A Customer
I thought that Garth Nix's book, The Violet Keystone was an amasing book to end this series. I would not recomend this book to anyone past 14 years old though. The characters do not seem to be any older that maybe ten. Either way I loved the book and would recomend it to my friends if they liked fantasy.

The end of it all!!!!!, July 17 2004
I was kinda suprised, I loved the ending but there are some things I was anticipating that never happened. I was waiting for Tal and Milla to start a romance, if you really read you'll notice that they really like each other and through the series go from hating each other to loving each other in a quiet unspoken way, they just never come out and admit it. The one thing that irritated me about this book was the freeing of the Spiritshadows, I thought that was a great twist and Andras and Odris were becoming good friends to Tal and Milla and then it is over for them. But this is still a great book and altogether a great series, I own all the books!

The Seventh Tower Series' The Violet Keystone (Book 6), Jun 15 2004
Tal and Milla have gone their separate ways. Milla is leading a battle inside the Castle. And Tal is trapped in the Hall of Nightmares by his nemesis, the shadowmaster who has declared himself to be the Most Violet, Sushin. Fashnek has trapped Adras, Tal's Spiritshadow, in a shadow bottle, and now Tal must face his fears in the Hall of Nightmares. He attempts what only a few have accomplished, controlling the Sunstones in the globe to make them open. He sighs, and Fashnek begins the nightmare machine. Meanwhile, Milla continues the Icecarl invasion of the Castle with a young Crone, Malen, Tal's witty Uncle Ebbit, an Icecarl Wilder, Jarek, and a few more, including Crow and the Freelies. Together they will embark on a quest that none of them will ever, ever forget.
I liked the part where Malen, Crow, Adras, Odris, and, of course, Tal, fight Sharrakor in Aenir, inside Old Khamsoul. The ending was a little sad, but the reader feels Tal's triumph. This entire series had its ups and downs, but I'd recommend the Seventh Tower Series to about anyone who would listen. It started out a little weaker than I had expected, but it finished better than many other stories that I have read. I hope you enjoy the series (or did enjoy it)!
