The Shadow Glass by Josh Winning
5.0
A nostalgic trip through popular culture and geek heaven!
Josh Winning has created a distinct and unique new fantasy adventure that had me captivated from the very first page. Whether it be the strange sense of nostalgia, I say strange as I was born in ‘92… or whether it's the fantasy world building before my eyes, Josh ensured that there is plenty to keep readers satisfied throughout each chapter.
The Shadow Glass is a story of family at its core. The estranged father and son are at the heart of the story and with Jack not wanting to follow his fathers legacy. After his fathers death, Jack returns to his childhood home and during a thunderstorm, the wild fantasy adventure of his youth begins to come alive! Let’s face it, when we were younger, we all had crazy visions of the impossible becoming possible. For me… I wanted to be the green power ranger, For others it was their childhood toys coming alive. That’s exactly what The Shadow Glass is about. It is also about becoming who you are meant to be, accepting your destiny and achieving the greatness you were born to reach.
Josh Winning’s writing is magnificent. From the descriptive prowess of mystical realms and creatures to the heartstring tugging moments involving family and friends, Josh is clearly looking to become one of the fantasy greats and with The Shadow Glass, he is doing just that.
If you enjoy nostalgia. If you are a fantasy fan. If you love incredibly well designed and written stories… then you must read The Shadow Glass. A VHS box stuffed with heart, violence, mystical journeys, heroism and family. For sure to remain one of my favourite fantasy stories of recent times.
