Our view
“Flight of the Nighthawks” opens Raymond E. Feist’s “Darkwar Saga” with a many-stranded conspiracy and an easy, entertaining style. Assassins and magic drive the story, and its many viewpoints give it an epic sweep. Some readers find the start slow, the finale predictable and the writing in need of firmer editing.
