Praise for Lynn Flewelling
“Glimpses is full of treasures like Lynn Flewelling’s deceptively easy and addictive storytelling, her vivid and engaging characters, and the amazing and heartfelt illustrations. I found it fascinating to see a younger, less outwardly confident Seregil in both ‘Misfit’ and ‘By the River’, and then to meet him in his much more worldly persona in the snippet of ‘The Summer Players’, the next Nightrunner novel. ‘The Wild’ is a poignant, brutal and uplifting tale of Alec’s parents and his early childhood. While the deepening of Seregil and Alec’s relationship in ‘The Bond’ is beautifully handled and is as emotionally satisfying for the reader as it is for the two friends and lovers. This book is a must have for fans of Lynn’s Nightrunner books, and if you haven’t started the series yet, then Glimpses will leave you eager to discover more about Seregil and Alec, their adventures and the unique and fantastical world that the pair inhabit.”
—Suzanne McLeod, author of the Spellcrackers.com urban fantasy series
“It's hard to imagine a lovelier gift to fans than this exquisite collection of gorgeously illustrated short stories. Flewelling indulges her loyal readers with these graceful glimpses ‘between the lines’ of the long-running and immensely popular Nightrunner series.”
—Josh Lanyon, author of the Adrien English Mysteries and the Holmes & Moriarity Mysteries
“An unmissable short story collection from Flewelling. Set in the Nightrunner universe Glimpses captures Flewelling’s characters at formative moments in their various timelines. Some of the stories fill in details that I've been waiting on for years, others tell stories that I didn't know I wanted to know until I read them. And who can resist the story of how Seregil first met Micum Cavish, beloved if never a lover, or a glimpse at the young Phoria - before she turned so bitter. Illustrated by fans of the series it is fun to see how other readers envisage the characters.”
—T.A. Moore, award-winning author of the Even Series
“Glimpses is a terrific collection, lovingly illustrated, a gift to all of us who love the Nightrunners. This rocks.”
—Patricia Briggs, New York Times Best-selling Author of the Mercy Thompson Series
“Magnificent, impressive … capture[s] some of the same flavor found in T. H. White’s classic, The Once and Future King, as well as in Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea books. Factor in some essence of Mervyn Peake, and you have a winning combination.”
—Realms of Fantasy
“Flewelling’s Nightrunner books are popular among fantasy fans for a very simple reason—they’re good.”
—Monroe (LA) News-Star
“An intensely poignant tale that asks the question—how far should one go to change destiny? Lynn Flewelling delivers a tightly crafted narrative with vivid characters and a detailed background that quickly pulls the reader into her world.”
—Romantic Times
“Memorable characters, an enthralling plot, and truly daunting evil.... The characters spring forth from the page not as well-crafted creations but as people.... The magic is refreshingly difficult, mysterious, and unpredictable. Lynn Flewelling has eschewed the easy shortcuts of clichéd minor characters and cookie-cutter backdrops to present a unique world.... I commend this one to your attention.”
—Robin Hobb, award-winning author of the The Realm
of the Elderlings series and the Soldier Son Trilogy
“A splendid read, filled with magic, mystery, adventure, and taut suspense. Lynn Flewelling, bravo! Nicely done.”
