The River of Shadows by Robert V.S. Redick
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
5.0
The 3rd book of 4 from a little know fantasy writer. Needless to say, more people should read his books.
Redick has taken me on a fantasy adventure that I am loving. So many twists and turns, good VS. bad, mages, animals that are "woken" meaning they can speak to you, small humans (think the borrowers). Normally when an author stacks the deck like this, I get confused and angry with them for not knowing when to stop. This was the exception. And to top it all off Redick adds a sense of humor to the story like no other fantasy author I have read.
In a nut shell: I loved it! Anticipating the finale, but know I will be sad when it is over.
