The Shadow of What Was Lost

Oh how I love a multi POV “complete your destiny” type fantasy read! I truly did not think that this book was going to be that great halfway through. I thought that it would be just good enough for 3 stars and keep me invested enough to read the rest of the trilogy. It was very slow but by no means boring due to the constant suspense of trying to put the clues together of who Caeden truly is since his memory was wiped, and everyone is slowly but surely figuring out their powers to fight the enemy. I loved all the characters but Davian and Caeden were a lot of fun to read about. The second half of the book was totally redeeming and so freaking awesome. I haven't been this excited to read a sequel in a long time. Very descriptive death scenes and simple but unique magic systems paired with a crazy “holy shit balls” ending and you have yourself a dandy of a book!
