review 1: I read another book(The Goblin Corps) by the same author, and decided to give this one a try. While, the plot is solid from beginning to finish, it was hard for me to really enjoy this book. The main character Corvis, is one I felt like I really wanted to like but, I couldn't. Former evil Dark Lordship aside, I didn't find Corvis interesting in the slightest. The moments where his not fighting against his enemies, he spends alot of time arguing with his demonic "ally" or debating useless banter with his subordinates. To sum thinks up, this book was all "talk" and no "bite". The battle scenes are decent and the book does have a slight twist to it that, will leave thinking, "Didn't see that one coming" but, there is not much to say about it.Your either really going to love ... moreit or just find to be decent.
review 2: "The Conqueror's Shadow" is a really weird mix of likeable and gruesome. The characters are intelligent and witty, and the banter between them is fantastic. At the same time, these characters that you really like, even the "good guys," do really horrific things in the course of trying to defeat their enemy. It ended up giving this weird feeling that I was still rooting for these characters, but Marmell does an amazing job making the war decisions seem justifiable. Marmell also did an amazing job weaving this story together. Each chapter begins with a scene from the past that gives you insight into the characters and their relationships before the book starts, and it relates to whatever developments follow in the rest of the chapter. This book is masterfully written, incredibly entertaining, and oddly contemplative, which makes it a unique but highly recommendable book. less
