review 1: I consistently read one or more books at a time, few catch my interest and I finish as I cant wait to find out whats next.This series started out with Caim an assassin with some special ability's he does not fully understand (i like this) and a "special" friend, a female who is intangible to Caim and the world but can help him on his quest (only he can see and talk with her)Along with the murder (assassination's) and a look into characters life there is introduction to some characters that are worth mention as they carry there weight as the story progresses, and underlining this all is the mystery of his beginnings (yes another lost orphan) not knowing or half remembering a childhood , and powers he really has limited control and no idea of limit's. Caim is running around ... moredoing his "thing" until he is drawn into a world of darkness that leads him towards his beginnings and some answer's. This is a fun run of some violent at times but not vulgar action, mysterious plot that gets you drawn in and towards the end of the book you stat looking at pages left and realize you hop there are more. Good read as the other two books before lead us here in the same fashion. I love this genre of writing, similar books (Brent Weeks "shadow" series) old Steven Brust, and tales of the kin, just a few that comes to mind, this series will go in my favorite list' I would like to add one other thought, reading the third and last in this series, I started it a few months or so after finishing the second book and it did take me some time to reacquaint myself to the story line, I do not recommend reading this book out of series, read the first 2 then finish with this book.
review 2: "Balaam swept the kalishi sword in a half-circle to clear the gore, wiped it on the priest’s wide back, and slid it back into the scabbard.”Oh yes, it’s one of those kind of books. While some people have a problem with “Hack and Slash”, I rather enjoy one from time to time. Even among those who like “Hack and Slash”, there is a problem with that phrase, they prefer “Heroic Fantasy”, “Sword and Sorcery”, or some other colorful euphemism. Whatever you want to call it, Shadow’s Master is worth a read. As a youth, I spent countless hours lounging in a winged-back chair reading — ahem — “Heroic Fantasy” from authors; L. Sprague de Camp, R.E. Howard, Gemmell, and many many others.While I wouldn’t put Sprunk in that lofty list, I have to say that I enjoyed his novel. Having said that, I would strongly suggest that you begin with the earlier books in the series.Shadow’s Son and Shadow’s Lure lay the ground work for this novel, and this novel Shadow’s Master concludes the series. The pace is fast and the novel is action-packed. I would go so far as to say that a one word description of the book would be “action”. I certainly recommend the book.I received the book free from PYR. less
