I was so pleasantly surprised by this novel! On several occasions I laughed out loud or proclaimed, "Oh no!" And I don't think I can give a novel any higher praise than that.
I stumbled across Casting Shadows while doing a search on Amazon for the Babylon 5 spin-off Crusade. I was looking for reviews after watching Crusade because it was so terrible; I was curious if others thought it as bad as I did. While reading those reviews I saw an ad for this book.

For Babylon 5 fans only. That being said, this was a very entertaining series that sheds light on some of the most fascinating beings in the Babylon 5 universe, who had very little screen time on the actual t.v. series. Techno-Mages are basically a clan of wizards who use technology to perform what amounts to magic. This series reveals that they had a very important but unseen hand in the major events of Babylon 5.

Buen libro, pero sólo si eres fan de babylon 5. Da mucha información sobre los tecnomagos, especialmente sobre Galen y Elric, y de cómo se enteran de la llegada de las Sombras.

This is a marvelous book, and I can't wait to get into the other two connected to it. Though from the beginning, I sensed tragedy, and not just because the Shadows would be involved...even so it is a magnificent story on one of the most interesting groups in the B5 Timeline. The sheer background on the old events coming from a new source in new ways is simply amazing, and pulls any B5 fan in for more.

2.0 to 2.5 stars. A decent, quick read but I was really hoping for better as I am a fan of B5 and was hoping for an interesting read providing more details regarding the Shadow War. Alas, I was pretty disappointed. I will probably read the net book in the series at some point and hope it is better.

I generally don't read books based on series, but I did enjoy the Bab-5 books that J. Michael Straczynski plotted, and this particular series was my favorite.

I loved this trilogy. Here, we see bits and pieces of Galen's childhood and training.

My least favorite of the B5 trilogy books, but still a good read for B5 fans.
