The Outstretched Shadow Audiobook

" This Book Has been Outstanding So far . A little long Winded In place's "

" This fantasy book was a mixed bag for me. It felt too long and the pacing was uneven. It definitely dragged at times. I dislike clearly defined "good" and "bad" guys, and unfortunately there are few moral subtleties here. The "bad" guys were dreadfully written and I literally had to skip those chapters to avoid reading (yet again) how much they relish torturing their helpless victims. However despite all these flaws, I did end up enjoying the book and I wanted to know where the story would go in the next book of the trilogy. The world is fairly well developed, the characters have some interesting moments, and the writing style is adequate. Overall it is highly flawed but still has some merit for fantasy fans. "

" I like the twist on magick this book takes. The wild magick theory intrigued me greatly, as well as the unique world. Good trilogy. "

" An excellent beginning meanders into a slow, repetitive, and, for much of the book's middle, goalless narrative. "

" I enjoyed this book, despite the triteness. I'm partial to fantasy fiction, anyway. "

" I still love it with each reread. My only complaint is that the beginning shouldn't have been so slow! "

" This book had a REALLY slow start, but I absolutely loved it!!! "

" This is just sheer pulp fantasy. You probably shouldn't start this series if you're older than 15 or 16. "

" I love this book. I've read it before. But I'm just not in the mood. I'm going to have to come back to this series. I think I'm to busy thinking about Inheritance... "

" A long, but very rich and rewarding fantasy... "

" I really enjoyed this trilogy of books, and actually am sad it is finished. I would have loved to find out more about how Kellan and Vestokia progressed and about the changes the high mages made in their city etc. "

" When people don't know, they are happy as they can be where they are. But there are a few that know there is something different, and better if you look for it. But to start looking for it is the hardest part. Next hardest part is thinking that you've got something better now than you had than. "

" Interesting book, I like it's system of magic so far. Nothing too groundbreakking or me, but I like the writing style and the mythos, I'll be reading a lot more mercedes lackey, and there is definitely a lot to choose from "

" One of my favorites. BEST Unicorn ever! "

" Loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I love mercedes Lackey and how she draws you into her books. "

" I mainly recall this series started GREAT and kind of fizzled into mediocrity and mild annoyance. I'll probably someday reread it and see what I think then. "

" Wish I remembered more about this book ... I've got the second waiting to be read. "

" A great introduction to an excellent fantasy series. A little slow to start, but it's worth the wait! Excellent character development. "

" Loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I love mercedes Lackey and how she draws you into her books. "

" Too violent to read again. Compelling story and world mythology. "

" Mages, Elves, and Demons.. Oh My! An enjoyable, fast paced adventure and coming of age story. I would recommend this to lovers of fantasy adventure ages 13 and up. "

" Must Finish Reading Series, was a bit hard to get into but once I did it was hard to put it down! "

" I really liked this and am looking forward to the next one. "

" And yet another Lackey-created world! I'd love to chat with this woman...she must be incredibly fascinating. Amazing tale of how fear can repress a society. "

" A cannibalistic scene early on just repulsed me so much I couldn't keep reading. "

" I didn't like this book at first - being a budding fantasy reader I wasn't used to the words upon words upon words. However, the story grew on me as the action built and now I'm a big fan. #teamKellen! "

" I still love it with each reread. My only complaint is that the beginning shouldn't have been so slow! "
