Chronicles of Llars
review 1: This book is released as an Epic Fantasy and it is certainly long enough to qualify. This is a book full of paradoxes - it is good but not good enough to pull me back for the second book; the hero is interesting but also quite dull at times; his best friend just comes across as being quite whiney and hasn't shared a lot of his life with his "best" friend. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book and people aren't always what you think they are. Although there is a lot of detail in this book, there are areas where not much is given although I think this will be embellished in the further books.An interesting storyline which was enjoyable but just not enough to buy the second.
review 2: Just a suggestion before reading this book...schedule to have at l
... moreeast 3 days of nothing but reading! It's a long book...yet when you get to the end you can't help but feel disappointed that it didn't continue further!The author keeps you hooked from beginning to end. You immerse yourself into a world called Llars while its characters bind you there. While reading, you're lost to the your current reality as he spins the tale of Carym and Shalthazar, two characters on opposing sides (good and evil) as they make their way to their own destiny and eventually, their own truths.What's also great about `A Tide of Shadows' are the sub-characters, as well. The characters are anywhere from being human, creature or something else (like gods), are vividly brought to life and catches you (many times throughout the book), off guard. It's a suspenseful, fantastical and thrilling writing of an epic tale. The best part, it's a world that includes elves. But most of all, it's about one man's self-tortured soul and his journey to redeem himself. I loved this book!Can't wait for the next book and continue on this wonderful and amazing journey! less

Poorly written, repetitive use of words to describe the character and his actions.
