Shadowmancer by G. P. Taylor
May. 2nd, 2007 12:00 amThe Blurb On The Back:
Shadowmancer takes you into a world of superstition, magic and witchcraft where nothing can be taken for granted, and the ultimate sacrifice might even be life itself.
Obadiah Demurral is a sorcerer who is seeking to control the highest power in the Universe. He will stop at nothing. The only people in his way are Raphah, Kate, Thomas - and the mysterious Jacob Crane.
Packed full of history, folklore and smuggling, this tale of their epic battle will grip both young and old. The thrills, suspense and danger are guaranteed to grab the attention and stretch imaginations to the limit.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Very disappointing and peculiarly flat and uninspiring. This is a book that could have been so much better had it been properly developed and allowed to stew properly into a cohesive narrative. As it is, I doubt that there is enough skill in the writing for it to appeal to either young or old.
