Shadow of the Conqueror by Shad M. Brooks
4.0
A strong debut novel by the author, also known as the youtube personality Shad from Shadiversity.
In Shadow of the Conqueror you will follow a protagonist that is an evil man. Someone that have done heinous acts and come to regret them. It's almost a deconstruction of the anti-hero trope. Ultimately the book asks questions on right and wrong, crime and punishment, all without telling the reader what they should think. The crimes of Daylen Namaran are unquestionably true and evil. And we as readers are not following some wronged hero out on a quest for justice against Daylen's crimes. No we're stuck with Daylen and a lifetime's worth of regret. For all the books flaws, whom I can consider mostly minor, the strenght of the premise alone makes up for most of its weaker points. I truly hope that we will see more from the author in the future.
