Title: An OK continuance of the story, but not as good as the first
Review: "Shadow Dawn" continues the new "Willow" saga fairly effectively, but the major problems in the book lie in the abilities of the writer. Overall, the story could've used a bit more polish and a pinch more originality; an entire scene in the book is blatantly stolen from the film "Braveheart," while clumsily palliated in a story-within-the-story. While "Shadow Moon" gave us the future of the Willow saga so many of us had grown to love, "Shadow Dawn" stumbles along until finally reaching a morass of odd story twists and dragged-out characterization.
