A review by kaylakaotik
Shadowborn by Moira Katson
5.0
I’ve never been a big fan of the medieval genre before. No matter how much fantasy you throw in, Kings and Queens and the Court haven’t ever done it for me. So, when Moira contacted me about reviewing Shadowborn, I was pretty torn. Yes, the book has pretty good reviews… but would it be interesting enough to keep my attention?
Shadowborn moves a slow and steady pace. One thing I saw mentioned in a few reviews is that there isn’t a whole lot of action (danger, threat against Miriel) going on. Most people have counted this against the book. However, it felt right to me. I feel like Shadowborn was laying the ground work for the trilogy and it did so wonderfully. While there wasn’t a lot of action, there was a lot happening.
Moira’s writing is fantastic. I love that Shadowborn is done in first person. I think it added extra mystery to the story since we’re only able to see things as Catwin sees them. The characters are masterfully done. All of the characters had their own personality and depth. I loved watching Catwin and Miriel evolve through the story. I cannot wait to see how the story continues.
