Shadowcaster

Shattered Realms, Book 2

By: Cinda Williams Chima

Narrated by: Kim Mai Guest

From New York Times bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima, this is a thrilling story of the unfathomable costs of war, the allure of dark magic, and two principled and conflicted characters drawn together despite everything they stand to lose.

Alyssa ana’Raisa, the reluctant princess heir to the Gray Wolf throne of the Fells, feels more comfortable striking with a sword than maneuvering at court. After a brush with death, Lyss goes on the offensive, meaning to end the war that has raged her whole life. If her gamble doesn’t pay off, she could lose her queendom before she even ascends to the throne.

Across enemy lines in Arden, young rising star Captain Halston Matelon is being sent on ever more dangerous assignments. Between the terrifying rumors of witches and wolfish warriors to the north and his cruel king at home, Hal is caught in an impossible game of life and death.

Lyss and Hal’s intricately linked fates become inseparable when they fall under the shadow of a new enemy—a force that threatens to extinguish the last rays of hope in the Shattered Realms.

Thrilling read!

With unpredictable twists and turns on every page, Chima continues to keep her Queendom as vibrant and thrilling as ever!

Narrator is just ok, but story is good.

Not a big fan of this narrator, but the book is pretty good. It’s slower in parts than some of the other books, but ok. I’ll probably continue the series.

Kim Mai Yes please!

If you could sum up Shadowcaster in three words, what would they be?

So F**king Amazing.

What other book might you compare Shadowcaster to and why?

None. Cant really think of any like it.

What about Kim Mai Guest’s performance did you like?

Wonderful as always!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"But thats not all!" That would be funny but the serious one would be "As one war ends another starts"

Any additional comments?

Halston Matelon on my favorite character in this one. And a little disappointed Adrian wasnt in this book at all, but Jenna was.

fun

I'm really loving this story line and I've grown attached to the main characters. Went ahead and bought the next two.

It didn’t end right

As far as I can see their is not a follow up coming this way.

something for everyone

love this author....great addition. reccomendation all her books for readers young and old.... very entertaining

So many stories

There are so many wonderful stories happening all in this short book. It makes them all feel too short and incomplete. I hope the next book is longer and starts pulling all the loose threads from each story together. I can not wait for the next book in the series.

Always Fantastic

As always i have really connected with the characters and cant wait to see the next chapter in thier story

Great :)

Great continuation of the story. Chima is an excellent author & has an exciting conglomeration of characters. Excellent new characters to love. A new Hero & Heroine to love. A new group of Mages to learn about. New villians to hate. Only bad part is that I have to wait another year for more of the atory & two years to the ending. Cinda please write faster LOL

Love It

loved it!! on to the next book I cant wait to read more!! it's hard to put down lol
