Review: Can't add much more to what's already been said, except to say that a local book store told me that "Shadow Star", the next book in the series, is scheduled to release in Hardback in July 1999. Excellent series so far, and I'm looking forward to the continuation.

Summary: A delight for all ages
Review: Having picked up this book, with no notion that it was descended from the movie Willow or that is was a sequel to Shadow Moon, I found it perfectly capable of standing on its own. One does not need to have read the first book or seen the movie to enjoy it.
Together, George Lucas and Chris Claremont have written a tangible piece of fantasy fiction. The story has believable characters, is descriptive and the reader empathises with the journey. The silver skinned Sacred Princess, Elora Danan stirs the imagination. The young heroine's impulsive and inquisitive nature drives the story and with a few very colourful characters to assist her along the way, it is a delight to be pulled into the pages.
A beautifully composed, structurally comprehensive piece of work for all ages.

Summary: Not a bad book but too derivative...
Review: I enjoyed the movie "Willow" and the follow-up book "Shadow Moon," so I eagerly bought "Shadow Dawn" when it came out. It wasn't so much a bad book as it was horribly derivative. A major speech late in the book mimics the main speech from "Braveheart" nearly point for point. Another character featured in the book - I kid you not - is revealed to be the Lord of the Dance. THE LORD OF THE DANCE. The book came out a bit after the big Michael Flatley/Riverdance craze, so I hardly think it was a coincidence. This uninspired, unoriginal book was a sore disappointment for me after the beginnings of the series. All the same, if you're a fan of Willow and want to find out what happens to Willow/Thorn, Elora and the rest, go ahead and buy it. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Summary: I loved the book!
Review: I had just finishing reading Shadow Moon about a month before and was thrilled to find out that the sequel was due out anytime! No having to wait a year or two between stories, though I don't see how I missed it so long! Both books I could not stop reading. I know the characters are different from the movie "Willow", but they are more captivating. I eagerly followed Elora through all her ups and downs, and was sorry the book came to end (though maybe now I will get some work done without the book in my hands!). I hope that there is a 3rd book, I do so want to read more about the characters I have come to love and I guess I will have to wait the traditional year or two this time. Oh, well...should be worth the wait

Summary: George Lucas continues to create incredible worlds
Review: I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the first book, Shadow Moon, it started off with so much darkness. I remembered Willow's world as being full of humor and banter and now he's lost his family, his two best friends, and even his identity. And Elora was not turning into a heroine one could cheer for. I couldn't seem to shake this sadness for most of the book. This and the writing seemed a bit over done. But I still looked forward to the next installment and when it showed up I was very pleased. Elora's transformation is a welcome storyline and very believable. I love the personality they have created for her she's worth reading about. I love her affinity for dancing and her decision to cut her hair. I still miss the original characters I fell in love with and Willow is still sorrow incarnate (when he's around) but they have got me intrigued in a new group of characters and I am anxiously awaiting the next book. I know George Lucas won't let me down.

Summary: It gets better and better
Review: I liked the movie Willow and loved Shadow Moon. I waited with bated breath for this one. I was not let down. The story line keeps getting better and better. I really am looking forward to the 3rd book. I hope Elora meets with Luc-John again.

Summary: Great!! I'm waiting for MORE!!!
Review: I love "Shadow Dawn". "Willow" is one of my favorite movies. When I found out there were books to follow I admediatly went out to my them. Now I'm waiting for the third and can't wait!! I still haven't been able to find a screenplay of "Willow" which I will continue to look for. "Shadow Moon" was good but I think that "Shadow Dawn" kept me slightly more captivated. But I still don't understand why they killed of two of my favorite characters, Sorsha, and Madmartigan. They gave the movie the flare, which I sorely miss. Perhaps Lucas and Claremont will find some interesting way to bring them back into the next book!!!! We can only hope.

Summary: great book
Review: I love this book! I picked Shadow Moon up because I'm an avid Star Wars fan, then couldn't put it down! So of course I wanted the second-which was even better! I'd probably recommend this to fantasy and sci-fi lovers, even though the plot can be sometimes confusing and hard to grasp! Anybody know when Shadow Star is due out?

Summary: I've never read anything like this! It took my breath away!
Review: I love to read and I've read some of the best books by the best authors and Im telling you the honest truth when I say that Shawdow Dawn is the BEST! Each page held me like no other. I felt as if I was there and there was never a dull moment. If you like to read, this is the book for you.
