Shadow by Jenny Moss
3.0
The aptly named Shadow has always been just that, the shadow who must remain with the Queen at all times as it was prophesied that Queen Audrey would not live beyond her sixteenth birthday. The only thing Shadow longs for is her freedom, and when the unthinkable happens she has it, but at what price? As she begins a journey with a young knight, Sir Kenway, that will change her life forever.
There are some interesting and unexpected twists to this story, although I suspect that most people (including myself) had the biggest twist figured out long before our heroine. While I understand that Shadow has been mistreated her entire life, and feels loyalty to no one her stubbornness to maintain her freedom in the face of others suffering was a bit much for me. Kenway is a bit of a jerk in the beginning making it hard to understand why Shadow likes him, but thankfully he mellows out and their relationship then develops nicely.
