Well, as Shadowlands is the follow up to The Mirror Prince I would recommend you read that one first. That being said, I quite enjoyed Shadowlands. It was very different from the Mirror Prince, as it followed the newly healed Hound, Stormwolf (Wolf) rather than Max and Cassandra. Don't fret, Max and Cassandra are still in the book, but we primarily follow Wolf, the Human "Truthreader" Valory Martin and her protector and friend Alejandro back in our world (the Shadowlands). As always, Ms. Malan's...more
Shadowland from Violette Malan is a direct followup to the mirror prince. I on purpouse did not say sequel because while I would recommend that you read the mirror Prince first it does not follow the same charaters as main protagonists. Cassandra and Max are really secondary characters.
In this book we follow mainly Wolf the hound that Cassandra healed and Valory a human truthreader. Most of the intrigue takes place on earth rather than in the Lands therefore the name of the book .

Pros: fantastic worldbuilding, several interwoven plots, interesting characters
Cons: little emotional punch, a few times character motivations are unclear
The newly healed former Hound Stormwolf is sent to the Shadowlands to proclaim the new High Prince to those living outside the Lands. He's set himself another task though, to see that his former Pack is also healed and given new lives.
Valory Martin is a human psychic with astonishing abilities, able to see the truth of people and things by touc...more

I hadn't read the prequel, THE MIRROR PRINCE, before diving into SHADOWLANDS, but that wasn't a problem. The characters and problems were well introduced and the action flew along. I particularly enjoyed the author's ability to move between the various points of view. That's not easily done, and Malan showed a seamless mastery that really added to my enjoyment of the book. Stormwolf, I'll admit, quickly became a favourite. Such a unique and interesting (and yummy) character!

I wanted to like Shadowlands. The characters and worlds are so interesting, but too many main characters died. I started skimming halfway through the book, although my interest would be caught, and I would begin reading everything again. The multiple points of view did not help. One first person narrator with too many other POVs to count was very distracting. The ending suggested another book. I like Valory enough to read the book if it happens. A story set with Valory and Wolf using their gifts...more
“Shadowlands” by Violette Malan is the wonderful sequel to the creative book “The Mirror Prince” and returns the reader to a world where there are wonderful and imaginative beings who are continuing to deal with the aftermath of a horrific civil war that caused an upheaval in the Lands of Faerie. The conflicted being, Stormwolf, tries to rise above the criticisms and judgements being passed on him in order to fulfill both his duties and the dictates of his heart. His path crosses that of the psy...more
