Darren Reid, Lord of Darkness and Shadow

Darren Reid Lord of Darkness and Shadow - The quote by the Legends of the Shadow is a great way to begin the first chapter and promises of things to come. I like the fact that each subsequent chapter begins with a quote progressing the story.

Follow the adventures of Alisadar as he battles his captors for his free will and to wreak revenge on all in his surroundings. Can Kara and Dylan stop him? What is Dylan's destiny? You'll have to read the book to find out.

The book contains interesting and believable characters and well-written descriptions.

In a fantasy action story, which I believe this to be, I found much passivity in the prologue. Sentences in the prologue lack the active engagement needed to create the action to move the story on. I found the dialogue although well written, a bit confusing at times as to which character was speaking, specifically in the prologue. This may deter some readers, but don't let it. There are some well-placed profane words in the dialogue. Don't let them deter you from reading this book by Mr. Reid.

I would recommend this book and am looking forward to The Brotherhood of the Shadow: Chronicles of the Shadow book II.
