I could not hope for a better conclusion to a great series. December 1, 2001
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
With this book the seventh tower series comes to an end. Since the last book left me with a cliff hanger ending, as did every book in the series before it, I was eager to read this one and I was not disappointed. In this book, Milla talon hand, as she has been named since she caries the talon of Danir, is still leading the icecarls in an attack against the castle so as to stop the veil from being destroyed and unleashing the spirits of Aenir into the world. As she does this Tal, his half of the violet keystone taken from him by the powers of evil, is fighting to achieve the same goal as Milla and her icecarls. Together, just as they began the journey, they must save their world from Sharrakor who dreams of controlling both the worlds. It is only here that Tal and Milla see how much they have changed since they first set out on the task, the task that turned into a quest, the quest that turned into a battle. the part in the bok that I think describes the two children best is "somehow the chosen gad almost become an icecarl, and the icecarl was almostt a chosen, both of them blending the best of their two peoples."
I am hoping that there will be another book in the series but I know that there will not be since the end of the book had a note of finality about it that cannot be mistaken. This book was as enjoyable as all the others in the series and, even if it is the end of a series it is not the end of garth Nix's writting and I am looking forwards to reading more from him.
The thrilling conclusion to the Seventh Tower series. November 14, 2001
18 out of 20 found this review helpful
Tal and Milla have gone their separate ways. Milla, the new War-Chief of the Icecarls, is leading an assault on the Castle. Tal has finally returned home to save his family, but before he can do that, he must defeat the evil Sushin, who plans to destroy the veil, which would open the way for an invasion from Aenir. If the veil falls, the Dark World is doomed. Tal and Milla will once again have to work together. But Sushin is much stronger than he appears, and his true identity will shake them to the core. Their only hope of defeating him is the Violet Keystone, but will Tal and Milla be in time to save their world? All fans of the Seventh Tower series won't want to miss this thrilling conclusion. I was worried I might be disappointed when I saw this was the last book. However, I am happy to say that this book was a great ending to this great series, and I hope Garth Nix writes another series set in the Dark World.

Tal and Milla have been separated, but each have the same goal, stop Sushin for destroying the veil and letting in the shadows from Aenir. Milla Talon Hand, the name given to her for she is carrying the talon of Danir, is leading the Icecarl assult in the castle. However she has been separated from the main troops and the few people she have with her are not going to be enought to stop the Chosen and their Spiritshadows. Just when all else seems to have failed Milla suddenly is able to summon her half of the Violet Keystone and does one of the most powerful magic. But unfortunately she doesn't know how to stop it...but Ebbit, Crow, Tal's mother Grail arrive just in time to save them. Together they make the journey up to the Violet Tower, otherwise known as the Seventh Tower. On the way they meet Tal, but each of them is one step too late, Sushin has already been there. When they finally see the true side of Sushin it will be something that will shock them all... The conclusion to the Seventh Towers was great. When I first heard this was going to be the last book I was kinda scared to read it, because I had been very disappointed with other series' endings. However this book had a great ending. There would be a few things I would change but I didn't write it and the ending was fine with me!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 15, 2001

A very excellent conclusion to the Seventh Tower saga. Very exciting, a lot of actions, and Sunstone magic. Tal uses the most powerful Violet spell. The name, I won't tell you. Read the book!!!!!
The amazing conclusion to The Seventh Tower series. November 27, 2001
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
The growing power of Sushin has never been more apparent, and Tal and Milla are fighting for their people from ultimate corruption. What started out for a search for a Sunstone to save his dying mother has led Tal to an unbelievable adventure -- and a terrifying journey. Milla, Warrior Chief of the Icecarls, is fighting fiercely for salvation. And the haunting power of the Violet Keystone rests in the balance. The two children are fighting a war that holds the key to their destiny. The hideous plan for the destruction of the Dark World may come at last if Sushin is not stopped in time. And the outcome lies in the hands of two children... and one powerful evil. The Seventh Tower #6:
The Violet Keystone is the unforgettable and page-turning conclusion to the Seventh Tower series by Garth Nix. I'm going to miss this series very much, as it was one of the best fantasy series I have ever read. But the legend lives on.
