New favourite of 2022? I think so! ๐Ÿ˜‹

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 ๐Ÿ˜
The author has a way of just bringing the story to life, and that, for me, was an amazing experience since itโ€™s such a complex thing to do. I canโ€™t recall how many times I gasped out loud ๐Ÿ˜‚ There were greatly planned plot twists that ๐’ถ๐’ธ๐“‰๐“Š๐’ถ๐“๐“๐“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 didnโ€™t go overboard with emotions and managed to keep everything in a great balance!
Donโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜

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 โœจ

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

Rating: 5/5 โœจ
