A review by marlisenicole
Shadow of the Conqueror by Shad M. Brooks

2.0

Amateurly written. The protagonist is a completely unbelievable character. No character can massacre so many people but also be a hero and have a soft heart. The references to rape are very immature, like a teenage boy telling a D&D storyline. This is how I see this book - an immature D&D geek writing a storyline for a campaign that doesn’t make a lot of sense but has an over-abundance of technical details about power levels, skills, weapons, and clothing with a total lack of believable character development, plot, or grammar.

The overuse and lack of understanding around rape and murder is also quite disturbing and juvenile.

I’m glad I’m done this book. But… the world that begins to be created here has so much potential. Maybe a co-writer or editor could make an amazing series in this world?
