Title: The Shadow of What Was Lost
Author: James Islington
Number of Pages: This is a review of the Kindle electronic edition.
Date Finished: January 2022
Star Rating: 3.5/5
Thoughts: First book in The Licanius Trilogy. The cast of characters is very well drawn, and the world building is excellent. The plot is good, but, at least for the first two thirds of the book, lacks any real sense of immediacy. That changes during the final third, however, which flies by, and leaves me itching for the next volume.
Recommendations: This is a must for any fantasy fan looking for a new series to start reading, particularly if they are fans of Robert Jordan, Raymond E. Feist, or Brandon Sanderson.
