The Shadow of What Was Lost

The writing is very good, but the story is 100% YA - and does not “suffer” of any trace of originality. I've already read most of its parts before, in other books, but probably its intended public did not - and in here they are well crafted. So I would recommend it to under 20 yo readers, but not for me. And hopefully mr. Islington will also write for adults eventually, cause I would like to read that.
