Shadowwalker: In Dark Days, This Warrior Must Battle Night
He was known only as Shadowwalker, a name bestowed on him by Lochern, master smith in Swallow’s Roost. Despite his humble beginnings, he has an aura about him, something that presages an extraordinary destiny. Anyone can see that, except himself. In his own mind, he was simply a free warrior, traveling the various fiefdoms of Tho’orn with a special companion. He does, in time, come to realize that he is on a quest, driven — or pulled — by something, though he knows not what. As time goes by, however, his search takes on a greater urgency as the flames of war begin racing across Tho’orn.

It really hurts me to give one or two stars to a book and when I do I try to include a brief as to why I think it is so.
In this case, the main character is chippy and flippant. All his disagreements with individuals leads to confrontations and there are no attempts at reconciliation. This would not have been a problem if he was developed so in his early years in the novel. However, the character is shown to have humility and quiet fortitude growing up. Hence his transition from a humble boy to an arrogant youth is abrupt and without reason given that anywhere he ends up he meets people helping him out, giving him food, work and place to live.
However, the book had its sunshine moments as well. The back and forth friendly banter between Shadowwalker and the Fairie was fun to read. The author has come up with some innovative choice words that I wish I could use with my friends; but unfortunately they would not understand.

On of the Most Enjoyable Books Ever!
This is just a simple, somewhat mostly barbaric cast of characters in one of the most creative story it's ever! Sprinkled with abit of fairy dust, a few giant monsters, several romantic scenes and a touch of true love, blended with human compassion, and you have an idea of what to expect. Totally entertaining and enjoyable.
