The Shadow Revolution: Crown & Key by Susan Griffith, Clay Griffith

4.0

I liked this. It was a good combination of action, adventure, character-development and paranormal stuff.

This is a werewolf story, but it also has magic and magic-wielders, and it is a creative, exciting, action-packed plot.

There is a large amount of violence in this story, much of it quite graphic and even for this genre, I would describe it as disturbing at times. This is a book not for the squeamish, but if you like non-stop action and good, well-written fight scenes, this book has a lot to offer.

The magical world-building in this book is interesting and inventive, although it only gets a start in this first book in a trilogy. I was very intrigued by the magic aspects, and look forward to learning more about it in the rest of the story as the rest of the books play out.

The characters were very diverse, and each of the main characters have plenty of personality. They are all very different, and their differences add to the enjoyment of the reader as the plot plays out and highlights the differences in how these people respond to the events that are taking place around them.

I liked this, and will read the rest of the trilogy. I'm anxious to see what happens to these characters as the story continues.
