cedrisc 's review for:

The Shadow Wand by Laurie Forest
4.0

I can't give this book 5 stars on the first read. I hated where the author took it for most of the book. Ellorean still acts like a child who needs protecting and I hate her with Lukas.
I could guess what was going to happen in the end and it just made me sad. On the other hand I can see how these experiences will shape her.
The author does not follow the usual path of making her heroine very powerful and capable at least within 2 books.
Lots of action and was torn between not wanting to read it, and not wanting to put it down. She is definitely keeping me guessing. I feel like it is all going to go to shit with the prophecy lol.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
