3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting fantasy yarn, but nothing amazing, December 7, 1999

This review is from: The Forging of the Shadows: Book One of The Lightbringer Trilogy (Paperback)

The Forging of the Shadows is a reasonable read, with some occasional flashes of brilliance, interesting character snaps and diverting plot twists. But the narrative is a little dry and the overall plot is not unique. Fun to read if you like vampires and are not too picky about the storytelling - otherwise skip it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concentrated action, April 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Forging of the Shadows: Book One of The Lightbringer Trilogy (Paperback)

Imagine my amazement to find an entire fantasy novel taking place in the space of a single night! Johnson manages to cram the general amount of action in an "epic" fantasy taking place over months or years into a single night worth of narrative. The result? Concentrated action and a don't-you-dare-put-me-down book.

The characters are engaging and suitably dark - Lord save me from perfect heroes - and really give the story that added depth.

I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Book, December 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Forging of the Shadows (The Lightbringer Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

I first got this book when going on vaction, that night I didn't sleep because the story scared the ... out of me. But then the next day I picked it up again and read for 4 chapters and it was awesome. Oliver Johnson made this book unique, no other book I have read has used flashback and foreshadowing to tell the characters history like this one. I would recomend this book to anyone that loved fantasy.
