Our view

“Beyond the Shadows” closes the Night Angel trilogy with a crowd of converging plots and a taste for the sudden twist. Readers who have followed the series get a busy, emotional finish, strongest in its second half. Some find too many viewpoints competing for attention and a few threads tied off by coincidence; it is a finale for those already invested, not a place to start.
