Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.good descriptive scenes and place setting but just too slow to get into. unfortunately i have not found it engaging although the quality of the writing is good it just didn't draw me in. possibly a good holiday book that you can just dip in and out of.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.This was a well written book. But I found myself wanting more of the back story. It was hard to gauge what brought all of them to that place and times and the events surrounding them without a little more information. I also would have liked more information on the characters. It was difficult to learn who they were or to care about them without knowing more about them. As I said, well written. I just wanted more information. But i did enjoy the read nonetheless. Good for a rainy day read.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Some parts of the book I enjoyed, others not so much. Slow starting and confusing at times. If you persist the book definently improves but some may find it hard to get past the first parts.
I also had problems with reading the book as in the pdf format Adobe Digitial Reader refused to add it (password protected apparently) so could not read it on my e-book device.

The Shadow Academy, set in a sparsely populated Grand Britannia, in which fortress cities on the coast such as Petra Dumniorum in the West Country guard against an attack from mainland Evropa that never comes, and the rulers from Central Authority in Londonborough ban historical research, so no-one really knows what did happen in the Plague Wars that devastated the world over a century ago. The plot is driven by a secret society's desire to study the past and free the country from the Central Authority's rule, and the Central Authority's attempts to crush dissent and thwart its enemies.
It has an interesting premise, although I could have done without the weak love triangle sub-plot, and I would have liked to know a little more about the wider world. Grand Britannia has reverted to forest with the population in widely separated towns, but has there really been no contact at all with Evropa since the Plague Wars? Erish pirates from Ireland make an appearance in the story, so surely there would have been some contact with French traders or fishermen at least. I would be interested in reading a prequel set at the time of the Plague Wars now that I have some idea about what happened to devastate the world and decimate its population.… (altro)
