So, I'm actually now in the final volume of the shadow communities arrived. It is to Under the Verrätermond. The Shadow Guild 03 .
has ever I liked very much the preface by the author in the book. In this the author writes that readers should not talk of a trilogy and "threatened" in the same breath that it will eventually be serialized. This will only give if she likes it or if its budget forces them to do so.
Funnily enough I found out one week after completion of the third (and latest) band, which actually comes out in mid-2008 a fourth volume (Shadow Returns). I find this course strongly as I can see the whole series but very close to my heart.
now to the actual book: At first I did not become so hot with the new episode of Alec and Seregil because it is downright bombed on the first 150 pages with new names, cities and ruling classes. The one can not even remember. In the course of the book but it is about prejudice Ulich and the plot then focuses mainly on the main characters. This makes reading it much more pleasant and the pages fly by only pretending. Nevertheless, I was at the beginning of a sea battle really liked, one could formally richen the powder smoke and hear the Säbelgeklirre.
What I found beautiful in this volume that one to a new Continent is kidnapped, on our continent where Seregil has previously lived (before his exile). In the previous two volumes of this land was always left in the dark and thematically only in passing. Now you can learn more about these places.
Otherwise, the book has of course also provides many adventures for Seregil and Alec, which must then pass this and do this course. The author also brings the now very strong relationship between Alec and Seregil always comes into play. Somehow it's a little weird to read such a homosexual relationship in a fantasy book, but this is not negative, but so funny because it is so far I have noticed in any other book.
Conclusion: This volume will drop a little if you still have the second part in mind, however, there is again a very great novel, in which (almost) never comes up boredom.
