review 1: A good fantasy with a strong female protagonist. Young Ryana is trained in a 'ninja-like' fashion to become a Shadow Sister - female mercenaries. Ryana is placed with a traveling gypsy circus as cover. Fun read!First sentencesI crouched on the gray rock-laden ground, chickens squawking, and my head throbbing with pain. My father stared down at me. His face twisted in anger, fist clenched inches from my face, and nostrils flared as he sucked air to yell again. He was a small thin man with leathery skin from long days in the sun, brown, scraggly hair, and a haggard face, which twisted in rage.Daems, C. R.; Tomlin, J. R. (2013-11-23). The Shadow Ryana (The Shadow Sister Series) (p. 1). Talon Novels. Kindle Edition.
review 2: An intriguing tale of a young woman ... morewho, despite her limited background manages to succeed in unpredictable ways in her training as a Shadow Sister, only to find herself faced with an impossible mission.Overall, The Shadow Ryana lives up to the excellent narrative quality those who are familiar with C.R. Daems's work have come to expect. As with every single book ever written, there are typographical errors and confusing tense changes, but that's just my nature to pick on. They do not detract from a compelling story of a young woman with a difficult task that eventually causes her to question her loyalties - to her Sisters, or to the clan that has adopted her for the purposes of her mission?It's unpredictable, creative, and engrossing. The ONLY disappointment I had with the book came in the resolution of one of the lingering loose ends very late in the book. I felt it to be too trite and unnecessary and somewhat demeaning of the protagonist. However, with a sequel on the nearing horizon, perhaps my misgivings will prove to be unwarranted. less
