The Shadow Casket
by Chris Wooding
This book was good, but not as good as The Ember Blade. I think Wooding is at his best bordering between the civilized and darkly fantastical, sitting on the cusp of Lovecraftian horror, dangling his literary legs but never fully jumping in.
Parts of the best-friend-intrigue definitely didn't hit as hard as they should have and delving into the political realm of the world just simply did not grip as much as his previous best writing. In the end, I will continue reading this saga and follow into #3 but hopefully Wooding has used the writing of this novel as a firm lesson to what lends itself best in his writing style.
