"The Shadow Road, the fourth book of the "Warlocks of Talverdin," is the best so far. Fast paced and dramatic, Nethin's adventure took swift hold of my imagination and provided a splendid imaginary escape to another world. In this 'high fantasy' series, Johansen has managed to create a dark and serious fantasy revolving around a race of warlocks, witches and humans living together on an island setting in an undetermined time. Each story in the series is consistent with the others and brings alive more of the history of its people. The quality of the writing is also consistent with the other novels in the series, and the use of the High Court language spoken principally by Alabeth, as last of the Kiron, is believable and easy to follow." "The adventures that ensue are complex and carefully constructed; Johansen is adept at presenting intricate political and social intrigue, supported by strong characterization... She has created a fascinating, original fantasy world, one which readers will want to enter in to dwell. As with Middle Earth, we imagine the shadowy spaces outside of the narrative, peopled by characters we have yet to meet, partaking of incidents that have yet to happen, and we fervently hope that K.V. Johansen will continue to tell their tales for years to come." Belongs to Series
In Book Four of the popular Warlocks of Talverdin series, the struggle passes on to the next generation. Betrayed by a member of his own family, abducted, poisoned and forced to recreate an ancient spell that might--if it doesn't kill him--open the lost shadow road, Nethin, son of a Nightwalker lord and a human witch, is thrown into a struggle for survival in a dying land. In that land, the Homeland, he meets Alabeth, an orphan who survived the slaughter of the last warlocks by their own kinsfolk. She is willing to trust him, but her people have rejected her. Capture means execution for both, but an even deadlier foe plans vengeance against Nethin, and the life of every Nightwalker rests on what Nethin does next. No library descriptions found. |
