Shadowborn (Light & Shadow, Book 1)
on July 02, 2016
I loved this book. The best praise I can give this book is that I didn’t want to do anything else while reading it. I didn’t even want to work on my own stories. It is the best independently published book I have read. I found the writing easy to follow and well done. Any typos are easily over-looked because of how great everything else is. The plot was nothing new, but well developed and evenly paced. The characters were believable and I was able to identify with them--or with aspects of them--immediately. I cared for the characters and wondered how they would react to the problems presented by the plot. I usually pick up on the plot and predict much of what will happen, though not always how it will happen. Here, I predicted a great deal, but was very pleased in how it was accomplished and greatly surprised in several placed. This is the first review I am doing because of how much I loved it. I am looking forward to the others which I will definitely buy. I recommend this to anyone, and have shared it with family members. It clearly deserves five stars.
