Review


Talon of the Silver Hawk
Book One of Conclave of Shadows
Raymond E Feist
HarperCollins
Reviewed by Carla Martins, 2003

For those readers who enjoy epic and heroic fantasy, then this book will strike a chord with you.

As a boy, Kieli witnesses the decimation of his people, barely survives and is left for dead.

He is saved by mysterious strangers and calls himself Talon.

Talon vows revenge but because of an oath he swore to serve his mysterious and secretive saviours, he must bid his time.

It took a while for me to really enjoy this book but by the end I was intrigued by Talon's experiences and the many secrets of the Conclave of Shadows that saved his life. They seem to have an agenda that Talon has difficulty in deciphering.

I definitely recommend this book to readers of heroic fantasy, and fans of Raymond E Feist will not be disappointed.
