Reviews for Shadow and Betrayal
Beautiful Story-Telling
The "Long Price Quartet", begining with these two novels, is a dark, gritty and heart-wrenching fantasy novel that explores the depths of human emotion. It contains many of the usual fantasy tropes, such as a splendidly unique magic system, vast landscapes, political intrigue and battles between nations. But it is so much more than this; it is a coming of age story that spans the life of two young boys, as they experience love, death, murder, tragedy, betrayal, abandonment and ultimately fear of failing thier friends. This emotional tidal wave sets as a superb backdrop to the intriguing twists and turns of the political landscape that is created by the spirit-like beings known as the andat. These are concepts and ideas provided with bodies and their own volition, who wield enormous power but are bound to their creators, known as Poets. These sentinel beings act as an analogy to modern day weapons of mass destruction, deterring enemy nations from starting wars.
In the Long Price Quartet, Abraham tells a beautiful story of epic proportions, one that will tear at your emotions and leave you feeling breathless. by T.Eveleigh
