Book Review of In Shade and Shadow (Noble Dead, Bk 7)

In Shade and Shadow (Noble Dead, Bk 7)

I am a big fan of The Noble Dead, and I have enjoyed the growth and relationships of the characters. However, this installment marking the beginning of a new series was simply not as cohesive and well put together as the previous books. Where it could have been a fantastic addition as far as revelation and furthering the expansion of the story throughout the world the Hendees have created, it falls short. The previous books held an almost flawless level of steady action, tightly written storyline, and complex character histories and relationships, but this one is a shadow of what the preceeding books were. I read this and the following book simply to be versed in the full plot and back history, and am waiting for the Hendees to again produce the excellent level of writing I became a fan of them for.
