My rating on a 100-point scale: 95My thoughts:
A great read! A well-written and intriguing novel/la that kept me interested until the very end. Though there were a couple places where I found myself accurately predicting what was going to happen, I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes paranormal mystery and adventure.
My short synopsis:
A man under an unknown compulsion to higher authorities is told to kill another of his kind. He carries out his mission and along the way gains the aid of a wizard who seems to have a personal vendetta against his target. His intentions and goals are clear, but his companions' are not.
I do not suggest this read for anyone less than twelve years of age.
My interview with the author:
Welcome! Are you ready to share a little about you, the person and the writer?
How long have you been a writer? What inspired you to do what you do?
Many thanks, Faye!
I've
been writing crummy little stories since I could hold a pen, and I
wrote my first novel around (the)* second grade (and it was atrocious). I
really decided to put effort into it in high school, which is when I
began what is now In the Shadow of the Mountains, the second book in my Lost Knowledge series.
I actually started writing because, as a small child, I had a very hard time telling the difference between a story and a lie. I didn't get in trouble for telling stories on paper, so writing became my favorite form of communication. I always had stories to tell.
