With this book, I felt as if The Twelve Treasures series was finally finding its footing. The Sword of Maiden's Tears had been intriguing. The Cup of Morning Shadows had introduced the land of Chandrakar, and made it clear that elves weren't necessarily good guys, but it had been a chaotic read. The Cloak of Night and Daggers gave me a better chance to get a feel for the characters rather than all the lands they could travel through, which I appreciated, wrapped up some loose ends from The Cup of Morning Shadows, and made it clearer where the overall story was headed. Except that we'll never know because this was the last book written. Disappointing, since I'd been looking forward to book #4. Recommended if you've read the other books show more in the series, but might not make all that much sense on its own. show less
The third book in the Twelve Treasures series and it feels incomplete. Our heroes are finding their way around the elven world and their place in it - which would appear to be to die to better the careers of their Elven overlord.

Holly Kendall is going to a SF con, what she doesn't expect is to find herself helping an Elf with memory issues. The simple act of kindness in rescuing him leads her down a dangerous path and having to help him to help herself.

It's an interesting series but I want more!

Rosemary Edghill was born long enough ago to have seen Classic Trek on its first outing and to remember that she once thought Spock Must Die! to be great literature. As she aged, she put aside her fond dreams of taking over for Batman when he retired, and returned to her first love, writing. Her first SF sale (as eluki bes shahar) was the show more Hellflower series, in which Damon Runyon meets Doc Smith over at the old Bester place. Between books and short stories in every genre but the Western (several dozen so far), she's held the usual selection of odd and part-time writer jobs, including bookstore clerk, secretary, beta tester for computer software, graphic designer, book illustrator, library clerk, and administrative assistant for a non-profit arts organization. She can truthfully state that she once killed vampires for a living, and that without any knowledge of medicine has illustrated half-a-dozen medical textbooks show less
