shadowgargoyle 's review for:
Rise of Shadows
by T.S. Snow
This was a better book than I thought it would be. Honestly, the appeal of reading this book was just not there from the blurb but Amazon kept thrusting the book in my face at every turn so I gave it a go.
It wasn't bad.
Its not super great either. Like if I miss the sequel I won't be that put out. Honestly, I feel like this book just could've been longer and a stand-alone. It fleshes stuff out pretty well and I don't feel the urge to need a second book. The pacing feels off in this book at times and the relationships between the characters is very off. One gets a lot of attention with the 2nd as more of a back up character. The 3rd guy character is written in a fleshed out more than the 2nd but its obvious that the 1st character is the favorite and the only one who really has any sort of relationship with the fmc. And thats stretching it. Things slog super slow for a bit as far as story goes. Then we get a little rush. And then things slow again. Its not very consistent.
I enjoyed the bits in the beginning where it was obvious that it was written from the fmc's perspective of being this sweet naieve little innocent who has sheltered herself. But that really jumps away so quickly and she immediately seems to know everything and how to do everything so that was irritating. Either commit or not.
The book does wrap things up fairly nicely. Not a major cliffhanger. Which is good because I'm not really inclined to read the second book. This book wasn't bad. It just wasn't great either.
