The Shadows by J.R. WardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Okay, not going to lie, this wasn't my favourite book of the series. But that is just because I don't feel anything for the Shadows as characters, not because the plot was lacking or because it was a bad book. I still enjoyed this book, but Rhage, Vishous and Zsadist's books will probably always be my favourites.
I do feel as though this focused mostly on Trez and his relationship with Selena and his 'destiny' as the Anointed One, than it did on iAm. The relationship between Trez and Selena was incredible sad and beautifully written. I never felt cliched, and I think it could have done if it wasn't so well written. However I do fell as thought the relationship between iAm and maichen felt a little rushed an maybe could have done with a little more page time, just to balance things out a little bit more as I feel that it was close to being more like Trez's book, rather than The Shadows book.
I liked that this installment explained how the Shadows meeting Rehvenge, and explained how that relationship came to be. Throughout previous books we have been told that they were working off some kind of debt to Rehv and it has always been left a bit of a mystery.
Good book and worth picking up if you have been reading the series so far. I recommend.
