In this world, magic is divided into two, the practicable and the forbidden as in any self-respecting story and, even if I have never read Sandersen – much appreciated author – James Islington has written and inspired some anecdotes of his trilogy on of Sandersen’s stories so if you like this author then you will certainly appreciate the Licanius Trilogy. What attracts the reader to continue reading as one goes on are precisely the mysteries, the twists and turns when one least expects them, and then all the crucial details that are revealed little by little, with great skill, and not all in the same points, to never leave empty and boring scenes, there is always something interesting and new to discover. Their names are Davian, Wirr and Asha, and the most intense and interesting moment of this book is just when these 3 are forced to split up, without knowing who is still alive and who is not, the real suspense and attachment to the pages is right on the journey of discovery. The story takes a lot, it’s smoother than you might think and discovering these new mysterious characters makes everything more interesting. I tell you the truth, the prologue was not the best, obviously by continuing to read everything becomes clearer but initially it did not make much sense and I had started to think that I would not like this book, but already from the first chapter I was proved wrong. I have been waiting for this moment for months, initially these books were supposed to come out in November, but finally the time has come when I was able to read The Shadow of what was lost and I do not regret even a second because it was totally worth it. Just two days ago, on the 18th, the entire fantasy trilogy written by James Islington came out for Fanucci.
