Nightfall doesn't fall into his other personas, he only remains Sudian, but surely he could have come up with another assassin similar to intimidate people! That would totally destroy everything that his childhood friend has tried to do for him though, which would undermine other parts of the book. That sentence is confusing until you have read the book I guess. Something I didn't understand was why Nightfall didn't just create another persona like the assassin Nightfall. The majority of the time it is focalised through Nightfall, which works very well for building his character. Must of the book is built on suspense, which is appropriate as the third person narrative. It's hard to discuss this book without giving away key spoiler points. You do see some significant character development, but it is mainly in terms of the way Nightfall begins to interact with the other characters, particularly he idealistic Ned. I wouldn't say he was great, but he's not bad. Nightfall or Sudian, whatever you want to call him, is a nice character. Nightfall no longer has his true self to return to, but he mustn't remain Nightfall either. Executed, stripped of disguises and charged with a seemingly impossible task, he needs to land Ned before he can escape the oath bond. Nightfall is a legend with multiple disguises, but he has finally made a mistake. For more recent reviews by me, please hop over there. I originally reviewed this book on my blog - The Cosy Dragon. Bound by sorcery and oath to guard and guide a young prince on his quest, Nightfall will need every trick and talent at his command to keep both himself and his idealistic young charge from death at the hands of unknown betrayers. And when this master of the night finally falls prey to a royal trap, he finds the consequences beyond even his ability to evade. Yet though Nightfall has always escaped his pursuers by moving on to new realms, new identities, and new enterprises, even the cleverest of beings must occasionally slip. But chief among those names and perhaps the most dangerous of his personae is that of Nightfall, a man-or perhaps the legendary demon himself-gifted with unique powers which any sorcerer would kill to possess. He has been known by countless names and terrifying deeds throughout the lands of mankind-thief, magic wielder, swordsman, assassin, adventurer. The elusive man known as Nightfall struggles between his criminal past and his present obligation to protect the King in this epic fantasy duology. Legendary thief, lethal assassin, powerful sorcerer.
