![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What makes Islington’s debut so exciting in this, the first book in the Licanius Trilogy, is his storytelling ability. It’s also an unfair comparison, as Jordan spent decades honing his craft before he began The Wheel of Time, and anyone expecting Islington to match Jordan’s confident writing style in his debut novel is setting him up to fail. It’s a comparison that’s certainly complimentary, as Shadow evokes much of the same adventure, scope and coming-of-age entertainment as The Wheel of Time. If you’ve read Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time, it’s almost impossible to miss the clear influence the series has had on James Islington’s debut novel, The Shadow of What Was Lost. ![]()
