Ian McKinley's Reviews > Last Song Before Night

Is redemption possible? Can a personal tragedy or a change in one's fortune's close one's eyes to a pure love? Is the reverse likewise possible? Are we doomed to repeat our mistakes or can we grow more cunning in our approach to life?

This thoroughly good read poses such questions, rare for a book of this genre. While its plot was less rare - evil power behind the throne bent on accumulating ever greater power - the unexpected manner in which the story unfolded made the book an engaging read.
