Shadowmancer? I stumbled across the title while was searching for something else. The article I read was a couple of years old but they were really hyping the book. I looked it up on some other websites and the reviews haven't been very good. I'm just looking for some of your opinions if you have any.

I liked it! It was good Even though it was not wonderful or really anything great, it was just a good read, not really memorable. Does that help?:p

G. P. Taylor started out as a self published writer, and then Penguine picked him up because the book was selling so well. But in the copy I got there were typos and all kinds of errors and the plot was muddy to say the least.

It's over hyped for what it is. And the copy that I got was badly edited. Example:

"He always questioned her with silence or the back of his hand"

How exactly does one 'question' someone with silence?

Let's try "He always answered her with silence or the back of his hand."

The view point switches are rough too. In one place it took me several paragraphs to realize that there had been a switch mainly because of the use of the pronoun 'he' instead of the characters name.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will be finding out how it is for myself as soon as I finish HP and the Deathly Hallows. I walked in to Books-A-Million tonight and there sat many copies of Shadowmancer in the clearance section for $3.97. There were a couple other books by Taylor as well. I figured it was worth checking out for myself.

Hey, at that price you can't go wrong! :-D Wish there were a Books-A-Million out this way.

Scribe, Arundel Mills has a Books-A-Million, a big one. By the way, if you go, could you tease them about getting my books out of their itty-bitty "religious books" section. I don't like sitting next to "The New Age and You, a Love Story." :D

[Big_Dave]

The Books-A-Million in Potomac Mills actually has a pretty good sized Christian Fiction section. Unfortunately, they and Borders are sold out of your book. Unfortunate for me, good for you.

[fantastyfreak]

Same way at my Borders! Except at Borders they put your books on display and shelve them usually in the Independent Reader section. But I remember I went to buy The Restorer and it was shelved right near the tarrot cards. I was like EEEK! Yes tell them to get Door Within right out of reach of the New Age section

[Big_Dave]

Yeah, the Border's here is weird. One shelf is full of Bibles, the next is full of books on how to conjure rain and worship a hotdog.
