review 1: I thought I'd give the author one more try. Book 2 was even worse 'cause I REALLY didn't care what happened to the main character/assassin. He's wandering up in the war-torn north to sort of figure out who his parents are...maybe? I wasn't ever really sure. I don't think HE knew what the hell he was doing. Oh, and there is a not-at-all-surprise twist of a pregnancy. Look, if you're going to club us over the head with clues, then it's not going to be a shock when you reveal it. And while I personally have never experienced an infection that approached gangrene, I'm pretty sure it's not just itchy & stiff feeling. Gah! I wanted these books to be good. An assassin who can control the shadows & has a ghost-like companion should make for an awesome story. I almost al... moreways finish books, even if they suck. Congratulations, I only made it through 5/8ths. You've made it into the extremely small category of books I've given up on. Don't waste your time.
review 2: As soon as I finished Shadow's son, I started reading Shadow's Lure. This book is good. I would have liked to give it 4.5 star rating, but since that seems to be impossible on Goodreads, the current 4 star rating will have to do. In essence, the story is interesting, moves fast and has believable characters. The love story line is present, if only in a very faint way. But all the characters are very well described. Some of them you even love to hate. I think the last installment is going to be even better and I hope, I really hope the ending will be as satisfying as the story itself will have been. Great writing! less
