Knights Shadow
What a book. I really enjoyed reading this. This one picks up right where the 1st book left off. I think the 1st book is perfect and this book is a really good follow up book. Sebastian De Castell did amazing work in this book.
The name of this book should have been How much can we make Falcio suffer, because boy does he suffer in this one. From the Greatcoats Lament his friends all being forced to leave him. All coming back to him in the end though was great. The ups and downs. Thinking it would be a murder mystery then a hunt. So many misdirects. Can't believe I let Shuran trick me. I do wish we had 1 example of a good honorable Knight thoughVery sad that Ugh, died, but I'm not spoiling his name here.CAWPILECharacters.Falcio is our main character again, but this time we see him go through a lot more pain and suffering. We see him put away his past and start moving forward with his life. Again the relationships between Kest, Brasti and Falcio are 100% legit and realistic. All the characters have their own motivations and reasons and really no one feels like AtmosphereCreative and realistic world the villages the dukes, all work to create a world that seems real.WritingHis writing is as beautiful as ever. And with just as many powerful poignant one liners as the first book.PlotPlot makes sense. Isn't too Convoluted and makes sense with whats going on. The Tailor deciding to hire the unblooded Dashani was a bit crazy of an idea for me. InvestmentCouldn't put this book down. In trouble multiple times because I was reading instead of watching daughterLogicNo issues for me with what happened in the bookEnjoymentSo much enjoyment even at the same time as seeing all the sadness and suffering that Falcio had to go throughMiscLove Trattori and Bardetti --- something special UGH trying to be better than a horseEthalia—Pretty much everything here.Love isn't a cage▪ Valiana stood shakily. ‘I . . . no, your Grace.
