Our view

“The Quillan Games” turns the “Pendragon” series toward suspenseful dystopia, with survival at stake. The seventh volume follows “The Rivers of Zadaa” and is set on Quillan, a world in deep trouble. Some readers call it the darkest instalment so far. It is not a starting point: the book assumes the six volumes before it.
