This series is fast becoming one of my all time favourites. Following my epic adventures with Spellslinger after picking it up in a deal in Asda, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Shadowblack and thanks to the lovely people at Bonnier Zaffre and Netgalley I have done!
Shadowblack was even better than Spellslinger which is hard because 1. Spellslinger was really good and 2. It's rare a Middle book in a trilogy is any good at all never mind better than the first one!
So, we meet back up with Kellen the Spellslinger, Ferius the Argosi and Reiches the Squirrel Cat as they make their way across Seven Sands, the Border Lands of their world; as outlaws.
On their journey they meet new friends, but also new foes and end up fighting not only for their own lives but the lives of others as well, something evil is lurking and it seems to Kellen like it's coming straight from his own people, the Jan'Tep but as for whether Kellen and his friends will manage to stop them in time, that's for me to know and you guys to find out!
Not only is this a really well written book, which i could go on to praise for hours on end, it's also got a stunning cover and despite this being an ARC on my kindle, I will definitely be buying a hard copy come publishing day as it will look amazing on shelf beside Spellslinger!
