Customer Reviews

Shadow's back, and better than ever!

Everyone's favorite elf thief doesn't seem to get a moment to enjoy her fine wine or fine men before yet another problem crops up. This time, a strange, exotic man has appeared in the forest. He says he's looking for something... but isn't very interested in sharing the whole story. Then, plague starts spreading through the humans of Allanmere. Shadow and friends must find a way to stop the plague, and solve the threat that brought the foreigner so far from home -- otherwise they may find themselves facing it as well. I can't even begin to explain how enjoyable the Shadow novels are, and this one is no exception. The characters are loveably realistic, with flaws and tempers, thoughtful and sometimes tragic histories, all put into a setting that leaves you craving more history and knowledge about it. You never stop having a good time with Shadow! Although fantasy novels are longer these days, you won't feel like there's anything missing or shallow about these books... you'll just wish there were more of them written.

You can't help but love Shadow

This book, along with the rest of the series, is full of personality. They aren't very long, but within those few pages you live with the characters. I would recommend anything by Logston.

Shadow Dance is possibly one of Logston's best books ever

Shadow Dance, by Anne Logston, is a marvelous fantasy that concludes the trilogy. Logston brings her characters alive once again with the same stylish, mischevios air that makes her other novels so popular. Shadow, Donya and the other characters are added to a marvelously complex plot that can only be rated with five stars.
