Shadowhawk reviews the sequel by Julianna Scott to last year’s YA debut novel The Holders, an urban fantasy with an Irish mythology twist.
“A good novel, but the ending is a bit rushed and doesn’t quite have the climax I was looking for. Still, it is a good follow-up to its predecessor, which I really enjoyed.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first comics round-up for February.
“A mix of Marvel comics here, with All-New Invaders not being quite up to par but the latest chapter of Revolutionary War is indeed quite impressive.“ ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
“Scott Lobdell misfires yet again with Teen Titans, proving that this series is deserving of its cancellation whilst Gail Simone works wonders with the first Volume of Red Sonja.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk runs down the top DC comics to be looking forward to in January, 2014.
Shadowhawk takes a look at the third book in Wizards of the Coast’s mega-event The Sundering, and also the third book in Erin M. Evans’ Brimstone Angels series.
“Farideh and Havilar return for another amazing adventure as they finally get caught up in the adventures of The Sundering event and everything has a much higher appreciable stake. Some excellent characterisation this time around and some great action too.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk takes a look at the first novel in Raymond E. Feist’s final trilogy of the great Midkemian Saga. This is also the fourth review in his Advent Review series and you can check out the full list here.
“With this book, I returned to the world of Midkemia after a long, long time and what I found was that the setting was just as captivating and enthralling as it was in the first book that started it all off. This book has my seal of approval and recommendation.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
After a month-and-a-half long break, Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first comics round-up for December, and the penultimate one for the year.
“For a change, this was a fairly good crop of stories, whether it is the always amazing Paul Dini’s Zatanna or the other supernatural of DCU with Dan DiDio’s Phantom Stranger, which turned out to be fairly decent, especially once J. M. DeMatteis stepped in for scripting duties. ” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
““Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files delivers a solid standalone graphic novel, whilst Brian Wood impresses with Mara. Over at Zenescope, Robyn Hood: Wanted is entertaining and fun whilst Corinna Beckho impresses with the first volume of the second Star Wars: Legacy series, set 138 years after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope.” ” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the second novel in the Wild Hunt series, published by Gollancz.
“An interesting novel that takes a greater look at the setting and introduces several interesting characters, but fails to excite and entertain as much as the first novel in the series.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the second novel in the Shattered Sigil adventure fantasy trilogy.
“A brilliant sequel to what was a brilliant debut.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

“A super intense and exciting conclusion to one of the finest fantasy trilogies I’ve read.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk takes a look at the second Spiritwalker novel from Kate Elliott, published by Orbit Books.
“An extra special sequel that takes the characters to new places and through new adventures, this book has my seal of awesome on it.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
