Title: Applause for an excellent book
Product review: Ann Marston has woven together a classic fantasy, ranking high among the many post Tolkein authors who attempt to craft a story as masterfully as he did. While steeped in magic, King of Shadows, to it's credit, is not so unrealisticly magical that it becomes abstract and stupid. This book has a great co-main character in Cynric, even more appealing than the star of the first book in this trilogy, Gareth. My only complaint is that, as the trilogy moves on seemingly towards the story of the foretold king who will free the land, it seems likely we will not hear anymore of Cynric first hand in Marston's next book, Sword and Shadow.
