Book Review of Shadow Dawn (Chronicles of the Shadow War, Book 2)

Shadow Dawn (Chronicles of the Shadow War, Book 2)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


I seriously enjoyed the movie "Willow"; this book is the second in a series of three ("Shadow Moon" and "Shadow Star" are the other two) that supposedly continues Willow's story. I've wanted to read these books for a while, because the movie *sorta* left me with a question or two. All this series did was CONFUSE me. I'm an avid fantasy reader, so it's not like these are out of my genre, but the way the books are written, the "explanation" of how the "magic" works, even the events in the book, are so boring and confusing that after I forced my way through the first book I had no desire to read this one. It took me a year and major desperation for something to read before I picked it up. Two and a half years after I forced my way through this book, I finally read the last one. Wasted time. I enjoyed the side panel of my cereal box more than this series. There was serious potential after the awesome movie, but they missed the mark by a mile with this series.
