We've made it to book five in Garth Nix's ''Seventh Tower'' series, so a quick recap:
The Dark World is blocked from the Sun by an enchanted Veil created by Tal's forebears to protect it from the creatures who inhabit Aenir - a spirit land full of magic and magical beasts.Aenir is lit and warmed by the Sun, but the Dark World uses sunstones - crystals grown and charged with light and heat in Aenir. Some inhabitants of the Dark World - the Chosen - also bind some of Aenir's creatures to themselves as spiritshadows or spiritguards.
The Darkworld has other inhabitants - the Icecarls, a fierce and warlike race used to living without light and in the harshest conditions. Milla is an Icecarl and as previous events have unfurled, she's been made their war leader - which is just as well, since the Veil is under threat and the shadows of Aenir may soon be unleashed from their Chosen masters.
Fans of ''The Seventh Tower'' will also like Nix's [[Lady Friday (The Keys to the Kingdom) by Garth Nix|Keys to the Kingdom]] series. I think they might also enjoy [[Quicksilver by Sam Osman]].
