With this review Unpublished inaugurate the corner, where I will talk about all the novels that have not found a worthy editor, but are distributed freely and for free on the net.
Title: Shadow the Enchantress
Author: James Mariani
Genre: Fantasy (Spy fantasy)
Year: 2010
Plot
Clarion is a thief and skillfully turn. Embroiled in complex political issues working for the Rebels against the tyrant of Emeral Wylhem, infiltrating a spy in the other kingdoms under different covers. Almost as if his experiences are interwoven with those of Isial Sethal, enchantress daughter of a merchant, engaged in the struggle for the liberation of Arbaela, its land of origin. Before enemies and then forced to work together for the common cause, both will have to deal with its past. Clarion risks his life for having betrayed the secret organization of Kleg Isial and instead is willing to do anything to uncover the secret that lurks in the book of fairy tales on Pera'el and free his homeland. But the apparently noble intentions behind the two main characters want to hide much more. Wishes Isial leading power and Clarion to love with passion and then used to each other and then betray. Because power is something very dangerous and obsession is a desire that can erode and destroy even the balance of feelings. Yet it is this web of deceit and lies to make heroes of a thief, moral and open-minded enchantress.
Conclusion
Shadow the Enchantress is a good story, able to keep the reader glued to the pages due to constant surprises. The plot is rather intricate, at first hard to follow the political situation of the kingdoms and store the various secret societies, but boredom is banished from history. Writing flows and the characters are fun and can make us reflect on many issues the series with their simplicity. Clarion is a real anti-hero and proves to be much more courage and determination of governors and wizards. It reminds me of Rivia Geralt, but maybe it's just me. Isial is the real X factor of the whole affair, that every time an unknown opens up new mysteries and solves puzzles incomprehensible. At first it seems only a magician without ideals and manipulative, but then evolves gradually revealing his immense love for Arbaela and then his deep desire for justice.
Ben built the scenes setting "pirate" and the various mysteries, especially the one on the book by Pera'el. The story seems a mix of fantasy, adventure and espionage-thriller (in fact I put Spy fantasy genre, inspired by a definition fornitami by the same author). It would have to explain more clearly the part of political conflicts and motivations of the fighting and the various organizations, but even without the story works. Overall a good story, cute and funny, though not without little thought: how far you can get to an ideal? You could destroy itself for love? What is the true concept of justice and the best way to get it?. Replies to readers.
