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

4.0

As I was contemplating giving the book a go, I read a Goodreads review that struck me as decidedly fair and generally positive - no adulating praise but no dismissive derision. The reviewer in question noted that there is not enough character delving but that it is a very fast-paced action-packed book. For my part, I will say I found this book highly entertaining, and this is shaping up to be, perhaps, my favorite of the Griffiths'. I feel the characters are drawn enough for me to know their motivations and to root for them beyond this first book. And I thoroughly enjoy that this book is action upon action; the only down-side is that it was difficult to find a stopping-point when one was needed. Thusly, this book is ideal for a rare day of long, lazy, uninterrupted reading.
