Impressive first novel, but not without its problems.
I would like to start by saying I really did enjoy this book. I gave it 4 stars because the story was interesting, the characters well-developed, and I didn't ever feel like I knew what would happen next (something I hate in books). Overall, it was a fun book to read, and I'm glad I picked it up.
However, it's obvious that it was her first novel. While reading, I often felt like the story's pacing was off. Hamilton would spend pages and pages describing some events and then rush through others at lightning speed, yet there seemed to be no difference in the events' importance to the story. It just felt like she hadn't fully fleshed out some of the things that were going to happen, so they didn't get details they probably should have for a more balanced book. My other big issue is with the ending. Don't worry, no spoilers! Basically, it just felt chopped off, like the story isn't finished or there needs to be another book. Sadly, there isn't.
Still, it's a good story, and if you like Hamilton, you should read it.
Score: 4

Great fantasy!
I became a big fan of Hamilton's Anita Blake series a year ago, on the recommendation of an employee at the book store. I loved her writing right away, and when I found out about Nightseer, I had to get it. (I mostly read fantasy) It has everything I want in a good fantasy book--elves, interesting magic system, characters and story with depth, etc. I loved it!

ok but needs more
This was a fast moving interesting book. However the termology is definately for those who understand science fiction. It also left me wanting to know more at the end. I am surprised there wasn't a second nightseer novel published.
Score: 3

ok but only skims the surface
this was laurell's very first novel... i could definitely tell it was her writing. the stubborn fighting woman who tries to save everyone and is magical.. it was ok but lacked the originality her other books have, well, that's what i thought at least.
Score: 3
