A review by wonderwomannz
King Of Shadows by Kathryn Ann Kingsley
3.0
I struggled with this book and sadly won’t continue the series.
I found it to be a mix of captivating world-building and some pacing challenges. The fantasy realm she creates is incredibly vivid, with rich descriptions that really bring the landscapes and cultures to life. You can tell that a lot of effort went into crafting this unique setting, and it truly draws you in.
One of the aspects I appreciated most was the detailed world-building. Kingsley has a knack for immersing readers in her lore and atmosphere, which added depth to the story and enriched my listening experience. However, I did feel that the pacing was a bit slow at times. While I enjoy character development and intricate storytelling, I sometimes found myself wishing for more action and excitement and spice to keep me engaged.
I also listened to the audiobook version, and I must say that keeping track of some of the characters was a bit challenging. There were several with similar names which created some confusion.
As for the characters, while some were well-developed and relatable, I felt there were others who lacked depth. This left me wanting to know more about their backgrounds and motivations.
“King of Shadows" showcases Kingsley’s talent for creating a captivating fantasy world. Though the pacing and character depth might not appeal to everyone, I think those who appreciate immersive settings and detailed storytelling will find something to enjoy in this book.
