A review by jamrock
The Shadow Of What Was Lost by James Islington

5.0

This book falls somewhere between Raymond Feist's Magician trilogy and Garth Nix Old Kingdom series. It's a mix of fantasy and grimdark but with enough timey-wimey stuff to satisfy a sci-fi fan. Easy to settle into bit full of intrigue and subterfuge with a jaw-dropping reveal in the epilogue. This book has been stuck on my TBR for a year but my favourite Goodreads reviewer gave the final book in the trilogy an outstanding rating so I am jumping straight in and already onto book two!
