New favourite of 2022? I think so! πŸ˜‹

Shadowfall contained lush features that made it come across as an entire universe, filled with amazing details and plot twists that were brilliantly written by James Clemens 😍
The author has a way of just bringing the story to life, and that, for me, was an amazing experience since it’s such a complex thing to do. I can’t recall how many times I gasped out loud πŸ˜‚ There were greatly planned plot twists that π’Άπ’Έπ“‰π“Šπ’Άπ“π“π“Ž  had the shock factor involved!!

Not only was the plot a masterpiece, the characters pushed the story up a notch...

Tylar, our MC, was a great character to follow, he was interesting and how his emotions were portrayed were significant and controlled, this goes for all the other characters of Shadowfall too. James Clemens didn’t go overboard with emotions and managed to keep everything in a great balance!
Don’t even get me started on the friendships between Tylar and the outcasts!! I loved how there were moments for the characters to connect and form unbreakable bonds, it was so wholesome 😭😍

Shadowfall is a thrilling read, there is no doubt about it. The story is one of intrigue and magnificence, and based off of such a unique idea. My review will not do it justice, for I am incapable of expressing my awe to its full extent. It was truly a story of knack and skill ✨

I’d recommend it to those who love fantasy, high fantasy, epic fantasy, thriller, adventure, and a mixture of unseen plot twists.

Rating: 5/5 ✨
