5.0 out of 5 stars Stick with it..you won't be sorry., 31 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadow Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Does it have some drawn out descriptions? Yes.

Can it be confusing at times? Yes.

But stick with it.

You'll find yourself immersed in a wonderful new World filled with deep characters, who you will learn to connect with.

And for those that finish this novel, and don't think they could stand reading another in the series, read Shadow Dawn! Book two is much more fast-paced than this book, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it even more. I did. Take a look at the reviews of Shadow Dawn..last time I checked, it had a 5-of-5 star rating average...those who stuck with the series really enjoyed the outcome. And from speaking with some who have recieved a reviewers proof of Shadow Star, they say that it's the best one yet.

So stick with it. You won't be sorry!

4.0 out of 5 stars A more grown up approach to Light/Dark, Good/Evil, 13 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadow Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is an interesting counterpoint to both Lucas' more black and white Star Wars Universe and Claremont's world of the X-men. Good and Evil, Dark and Light, all are blended here - deeds, beings, events all blend and swirl in and out of Greys.

The writing is a good attempt from these two authors, who were definately mostly newbies when they wrote this story. And, also, considering one author wrote screenplays, and the other comics - two totally different genres than novels, really - this is *definately* a good attempt.

I stuck with this book, neglected housework and other work. I found it an intriguing look at Grey. The characterization could have been better, but still allowed for an interesting exploration of Right/Wrong, Goodness/Badness, and how each "being" reflects these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and different series, 15 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadow Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book one of my happiest finds of the year, and had a great time reading it. Comparing the movie to the 'sequel' it may help to consider the relationship of The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings...the prequel a short, contained tale, the epic a grand sea-change in the entire inhabited world. Personally I did not like the movie that much--characters running about picking sides of a vague battle with no rationales for their choices. I thought Shadow Moon had characters that were complex in their motivations and desires, and the difficulty telling evil from good. The rest of the world was wondrous. The brownies went from irritating to helpful, and Willow made me want to cry. I anxiously await the next books.
