As are most of her books, it falls in the genre of fantasy. Although rather unfamiliar with the previous works of this author, the novel called to me from the shelves. The cover art is spell-binding, and the synopsis intriguing with its promises of demons, darkness, and forbidden pleasures. At a first glance, everything about the novel draws readers in. The novel follows the journey of Keleios: a sorcerer, enchanter, and herb-witch recently demoted from the rank of “master” after a shocking discovery of a new branch of power. After her relatively peaceful life at the keep is disturbed by the betrayal of one of their own, Keleios and the few survivors left are exiled to the land of demons, the Grey Isle. It is soon realized that the destruction of her home was brought about from the intricate planning of Harque, a powerful witch whom Keleios has sworn revenge on after the murder of her mother. With the help of her faithful friend Tobin, the dragon Eroar, an enslaved demon, and the black healer Lothor, Keleios fights for survival and vengeance. During her perilous journey, she learns the importance of loyalty, endurance, and resistance to temptation.

The central conflict is man vs. man and man vs. self. The obvious conflict in the novel is between Keleios and Harque. Harque, jealous of Keleios’ promise of vast amounts of power, kills Keleios’ mother in front of her young eyes. As Keleios reaches adulthood and grows into her power, she is no longer defenseless against the manipulations of the witch. Harque consistently attempts to end her life: first when Keleios was a mere child, and later in the form of her apprentice, Fidelis, after she was banished. As tensions grow, Keleios is finally able to act on her anger and attempt vengeance during the last showdown between her and the witch at the Grey Isle. The act of vengeance is an essential aspect of the novel. The theme deprived from this concept is that justified revenge could clear the conscience. When questioned by her sister, Methia, why she no longer mourns for their mother, Keleios replies, “‘My mourning was vengeance. I sought it and failed when I was seventeen. I asked you to come with me, but you refused. You said killing Harque would not bring Mother back. Well, neither would mourning forever’” (Hamilton 284-285). Although Keleios failed to kill Harque the Witch when she was younger, the action alleviated the guilt she felt for being unable to protect her mother. Because of this, Keleios was able to move on, while her sister carried the sorrow with her throughout her life.

Some symbols found throughout story were demon marks, fire, and whips. The demon marks, engraved in Keleios, Lothor, and Keleios’ childhood friend Belor, symbolizes impurity. To carry such a sign means you were marked by a demon. Although Keleios received the mark involuntarily, she still views it as a mar to her soul, a permanent taint. Fire is viewed as destruction. It was Keleios’ first sorceress’ charm, spurred on by a feeling of deep hatred. Fire is also what caused the disintegration of the keep, leaving nothing but ashes. Fire is wild, uncontrollable, and when it burns—eternal. It’s a symbol of violence, unstoppable and volatile. Whips are a personal symbol to Keleios. It represents all the pain she suffered in the hands of demons. It comes in her dreams, reminders of her vulnerability and former abuse. She cannot escape the mars these weapons have left on her soul. The motifs in Nightseer are vengeance, heroism, intolerance, and lust. These concepts appear repeatedly throughout the tale: Keleios’ quest for revenge, survivors of the keep defending with their lives to protect the defenseless, prejudice against those considered “dark”, and consuming desire that leads to unforgivable actions.

Laurell Hamilton uses many metaphors within her novel, especially when describing the emotions Keleios uses to draw upon her sorcery. While describing a battle between Keleios and a succubus (she-devils who visit men at night), Hamilton depicts that Keleios “drew cold, not of winter wins, but of man. The coldness of an empty bed, a lonely room. The winter gale howling outside and you alone. No arms to hold you, no one to lust after you, alone” (301). Hamilton was very creative in comparing the cold to loneliness and isolation. Hamilton also uses many colorful descriptions. One example of this is her description of the flaming keep trapping all those inside. She narrates, “The column of fire roared upward into the dark. Orange cinders arched outward like fireworks, sizzling and crackling…In the flames faces flickered, screaming and being endlessly consumed by the fire. Arms reached outward, flamelets…blazed around and swallowed…It robbed what it touched scalding. It dried hope and left only terror behind—run, run and hide. But there was nowhere left to hide” (148). Unlike other novels, where descriptions become lengthy and tedious, implementing these explanations bring the story to life.

The plotline of Nightseer was riveting, and the descriptions captivating, but the novel seemed more of a sequel than an unconnected novel. In order to condense the length of the story, past events, important to the development of the plot, were merely referred to briefly. Many significant details were passed up. Even after reading the novel, it is hard to decipher branches of magic from others. Hamilton does not give any clear explanation to what these magics are capable of doing. Also, there are many characters to keep track of. Other then appearing occasionally or being referenced, many supporting characters are expendable and unnecessary to the overall story. However, that is unclear until the end of the novel, and readers who painstakingly scramble to label names to faces are left disappointed once most of the characters fade from the story. I recommend Nightseer to young adults looking for a decent fantasy book to pass time. However, the conclusion lack finality, and readers may be left dissatisfied.

Ok, this is one of Laurell's books from back in the day when she actually gave a damn about her work. Right now all she seems to care about is cranking out enough sex scenes to make a novel length and sending it in so that her publisher will send her a check.

This is a good fantasy story, probably intended to be the first of a duo or trilogy as the way it ends seems to imply that there will be more to follow. Unfortunately, I haven't found another book in this series and right now I'm hoping that...more

I really enjoyed this! LKH's debut novel, it has a much different feel from her other works, but not an unwelcome one. Set in a fantasy world rather than the 'real world', its a very different kind of story, but the writing style and characterization of the protagonist are unique to LKH. I loved the varied action and intrigue.

Not expecting much, I was shocked to find out this was a complete page-turner. I just couldn't put it down, and in two days I had read through the novel with a thirst for more. I credit Hamilton's heavy use of action, along with realistic characters for that. The way in which the characters spoke was natural. There was no forced drama with simple greetings,...more

It read like the second book of a series or trilogy, many things aren't resolved and it has in my opinion an open ending.
I found the first third of the book a bit slow but the rest was a fast read, one battle or action scene after another. There wasn't much World building i could see and the magic system was a bit confusing and not really original - reminded me of Role-playing and Computer games.
Too many characters who only appear for a scene or two and then disappear for the rest of the book.

I found this book to be oddly a bit too much, and a bit too little. I felt it could have been a very rich world if more info had been given, or an enjoyable fluff piece if a bit less had been. As it was, I found it slightly confusing at first. There's a lot of backstory that's given, but you're never really given a chance to connect with the characters in a way that makes you actually care what happens to them.

It was a couple of years at least as I waited for someone, somewhere in public library land to see fit to introduce it to their collection. I pestered my own library's Inter-Library loan staff with intermittent requests for it. Laurell K. Hamilton was getting more and more popular for her Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, surely someone in Western Australia will think her first ever book written worth adding to their collection? Okay, yes, the AB series have gradually devolved from decent paranormal mystery/adventure/romances into stories of massive paranormal interspecies orgies interspersed with pages devoted to the angst-ing of her “animals” - how they all feel about her and is she paying them enough personal attention - but still, there is some interest in her writing and needs must be met, surely!

Anyway, I was absolutely determined not to order or buy a copy unread or unseen as that goes against my book buying collection policy, which is as follows. Books to be bought must fall into one of the following categories, in no particular order;
1. Be a classic or collectors item.
2. Be a book I want my children to have access to in the family bookcase to read either now or when they get older.
3. Be so fantastic that I know I will want to read it more then once, or
4. Be the latest from a favourite author (which I actually will buy sight unseen.)

And (you can probably guess where I am going with this), Nightseer, originally written in 1992, unfortunately doesn't fit into any of those categories. There was a lot in this book, lots of ideas, lots of characters flitting in and out to add to the names one had to remember, important background information dumped suddenly and then onto the next confrontation. It kind of had an epic feel but it wasn't long enough. The action sequences, and there were lots of them, didn't really flow. Magics were inadequately explained. There were prophecies.. and then suddenly demons, devils, dragons, magical bottomless bum bags like a Mary Poppins carpet bag, witches, Princes from all sorts of exotic magical realms at this one magic school, and then the one student who was at odds with the leader of the realm. This leader in his wisdom okayed major destruction and carnage at the school all to get rid of our protagonist, but happily handing her over ALIVE to her mothers killer and arch-nemesis. A whole bunch of people died and there didn’t really appear to be a reason. There were bad guys everywhere and the links connecting them were tenuous at best. And then there was our protagonist, who was half-elf, half-demon, half-royal, half-lucky, prophetic, a sorcerer and an enchantress, could handle a sword, wore boys clothes in this medieval world (ooh la la!) fearless and of course attractive to all and anything half-male and to top it all off, pursued by a prince to be his consort. Did I mention she had a magic sword?

You know, there’s a saying going around to do with books and reading and I’m considering it is one I should begin to take the advice of. I do have a tendency to keep reading until the bitter end. It is this.

Life is too short to read bad books.

Nightseer, Laurell's first novel, is definitely a preview of things to come. There are elements of Anita Blake and Merry Gentry throughout the story(the similarities to the latter are seen most prominently in the usage of magical weapons and gifts from the gods), but the biggest change is the complete lack of sexual acts onscreen(it's only hinted at here and just barely even then).

For a debut novel, it certainly has its flaws, but one cannot deny the graces it also possesses.

The main character, Keleios, is a sorceress and a dream prophet. She is a half-elf whose mother was killed by an evil witch named Harque. Judging from the back of the book, the storyline is a bit unclear considering is only gives a hint of what the main storyline is. The story may not be different from several other fantasy works out there, but Hamilton makes her best of the storyline and creates a very memorable work.

From the beginning of the novel, the readers get a good taste of what the magic system in Nightseer’s fantasy world. Hamilton shows Keleios trying to start a fire and boil water with her magic. Later, she details the buildings, religion, swords and moons of her fantasy world. While it is a lot to absorb at once, it’s easy to see Hamilton’s passion in creating her own niche in the fantasy genre. Nightseer’s system of magic and character hierarchy is well thought out and detailed as Hamilton invents many interesting character types, deities and spells. The magic scenes in particular are wonderful and (no pun intended) spellbinding to read. A particularly exciting aspect of the novel is Keleios’ dream prophecies where she imagines a library being set aflame.

As anyone can clearly see, Hamilton has a passion for good action scenes. The action scenes in this book are very well thought out and detailed throughout several chapters. In fact, I’d say that the action almost seems continuous through some of the beginning chapters. Hamilton’s word-building makes is very easy for the reader to imagine vivid and epic battles that are full of exciting dialogue and suspense. Her battles are much more detailed and entertaining than many other fantasy novels I have read. Some of them were so vivid and exciting, that I simply didn’t want to stop reading. Read chapter 6 for a good example.

The storyline is very fast-paced. Out of the 16 chapters, there weren’t any that left me bored or yearning to skip ahead. The storyline flows neatly from chapter to chapter and each chapter seems to promise the reader with something new and exciting. Hamilton builds up great suspense that made it quite difficult to put the book down. With every chapter came new characters, battles or plot twists.

However, Hamilton’s book doesn’t go without its flaws. The book seems to deviate quite a bit from its storyline and characters quite often. For example, there are some very exciting conflicts involving characters such as Fidelis, Velen and Bella, but I was very unsure of what happened to these characters. It feels like some characters just disappeared into this air rather than having their conflict resolved. I was never really quite clear about Hesbit’s and Harque’s motivations as characters. I feel like that author didn’t give quite enough detail about their personal character histories or motivations. About halfway through, I was left wondering where the book was going to be headed because I felt that Hamilton had pretty much forgotten about the main conflict. In fact, I had asked myself this once again another 10% of the way into the book. Hamilton seemed to deviate quite often from the main storyline, which being her mother’s vengeance, in favor of some action scenes.

Another complaint that I had is that it seemed a bit too fast-paced at times. While I definitely enjoyed the fast-paced and exciting nature of the book, Harque appears rather suddenly (after 200 pages or so). At this point in the book, the battles seemed to have gotten much more boring and tedious, unlike chapters 5-8. Personally, I wouldn’t have minded if Hamilton added on a few pages to give more detail to some of the events.

While the book is by no means a perfect one, it’s quite easy to see Hamilton’s talent and ambition as a young writer in the fantasy genre. As one of the most popular and well-known authors in the genre today, it’s quite interesting to see her roots and original ideas. This is a very memorable book and one that I will have trouble parting with.

Whether or not her series loose their' initial focus and turn to repetitious smut-erotica aside, I've remained loyal because I enjoy her style. Characters easy to appreciate and like, settings that add to rather than detract from plot lines and often enough feministic wit to keep me from cringing at the total by-in to heteronormativity in urban fantasy.

This was the first published work that I know of by Laurel Hamilton. It was satisfactory. The world as sketched is interesting although you pick it up as you go along. The story is good through the 200p mark then it sort of falls apart. It feels incomplete with way too many unresolved plot lines.
The story is worth reading and certainly shows the authors potential. The highlight is a great magical battle that spans about 50 pages in the center of the book. Hopefully there is or will be a sequel.

I don't think I've ever seen a better case for books needing editors. I understand the whole cashing in on an established author's name by dredging up everything they've ever written thing, but this isn't a book and it's not a story: it's a scene and a verbose and over-long one at that. There's no plot, no theme, no characterization, no setting up the (nonexistent) plot, no resolution of, well, anything. That there are a few entertaining and imaginative elements here is nothing but tease.

It has everything a fantasy reader could want, demons, evil witchs, elves, warriors, and a cat that is not quite a cat.

I really feel that this book needs a sequel as I was left wondering what happened to too many of the other characters and what was going to happen to the main ones. Great book tho and it kept me rivetted to my seat. Come to think of it, a prequel could also work too as it seems there are a lot of events that could fill another book that happened prior to when the book starts.
