Publisher Description
Adrian Brézé defied his own dark heritage as a near-purebred Shadowspawn for years, until his power-hungry sister Adrienne kidnapped his human lover Ellen.
Now, Adrienne is dead, and the Council of Shadows is gathering its strength. To stop the Council from launching an apocalypse, Adrian and Ellen must ally with the Brotherhood, a resistance group dedicated to breaking the Council's hold on humankind...by any means necessary.
In the coming confrontation, Adrian must fight not only the members of the Council, but also his own nature—and, as he will come to suspect, traitors within the Brotherhood itself.

"Very entertaining - borders a bit on porno, though, with the S&M crap which I could do without."

The Council of Shadows Listener Reviews
-
" I liked this better than the first book...but it still seems like S.M. Stirling is jusat cashing in on the "vampire" craze. Though his "shadowspawn" creatures are not really vampires, they do drink human blood. Not terrible, but not his best work. "

" I really wanted to like this series. I'm a big fan of his Emberverse books; unfortunately these just don't quite match up. It's still an entertaining read, but I think it's missing something. Like a previous reviewer said, the bad guys are too bad and the good guys are too good. "

" Have been a fan of Stirling's Island in the Sea of Time and The Change novels but just can't seem to really enjoy the Shadowspawn series. It has too much S&M and violence that just didn't move the plot along enough. "

" There were some nice phrases used in the writing "
— Margaret, 10/23/2012 -
" Ok, this instalment was better written and plotted than Book 1 - it's still not up with the Change novels for me, but I did enjoy it, and I'll be keeping an eye out for Book 3 "

" I just couldn't stay interested. So it is going back to the library only half-read. "

" Oh cliffhanger ending, how I detest you!... "
— Trixydan, 2/7/2012 -
