Title: Fascinating Idea Falls Short
Product review: I thought that Shadows Fall was extremely entertaining up to the halfway mark. Strangely enough, once the action started to pick up a bit I became more and more disenchanted. For one thing, there are far too many subplots woven together to keep the work as a whole cohesive. Shadows Fall has interesting characters (including a thinly disguised rock star who is no longer with us), a creative setting, and an impressive premise. It also has a very disappointing conclusion. Maybe this one book could have been divided into a trilogy or series with each subplot given the attention it deserved.
