Nightfall contained three parts; Twilight, Nightfall and Daybreak, therefore I feel compelled to rate and review them separately.

Whilst at first it took a small while for me to slowly warm up to the slow paced narrative that was Twilight, about halfway through I was completely engaged. The build up was amazing. The science used to back up the storyline was fascinating and highly believable. I would give Twilight a rating of 4/5.

Nightfall was fast paced, incredible, addictive and thrilling. It had me wanting more and it blew my mind. So much was happening at once and all of the storylines converged perfectly. It was pure chaos, in a most ordered sort of way. A rating of 5/5 would be appropriate for Nightfall.

Daybreak started off strong and stroked my curiosity, but it quickly meandered off to nothingness. Certain characters were almost forgotten about, whilst others acted in ways that seemed to go against the personality that had been developed for them. The ending was incredibly anticlimactic, considering just how engaging the middle of the novel had been. Daybreak would get a rating of 2/5 from me.
