Summary: Another realm of existence!
Review: Review of
A STIRRING OF SHADOWSA Stirring of Shadows is a sci-fi type tale that is set in a dimension called Shadowverse where strange creatures have different powers.
Melody, an earthbound human, does not fully realise that she has special powers until she is called upon by the Shadowers to save the universe from the clutches of the dark witch Lorduke and his master Sarggoth.
Melody is transported to this other dimension by a group of impossibly quirky characters - a talking dog, a talking duck, a disembodied brain and an orange cat. Steven is an Elemental with special powers and he is the group's leader whose task it is to conduct the fight with Melody's help. Melody quickly learns she has even more special gifts - her tears can revive the dead and her blood can destroy evil - but she is also the instrument by which the evil Lorduke and his cronies hope to liberate the Ancient One via possession of a certain artifact.
Lorduke feeds on human souls and Melody is also engaged in a race against time to save her friend Raven from becoming another of his unfortunate victims.
I was pleasantly surprised by this imaginative, quirky tale. This book is an awesome mix of irreverent comedy, devious plotlines and sci-fi originality. The stunning characters could only have come straight out of a seriously fertile imagination and Mr Catapano has indeed demonstrated his great skill in bringing these quirky characters to life on the page.
This book takes you to another realm of existence where even the logic of life itself is challenged.
An uplifting light-hearted read for those who enjoy a tale about the ultimate power of good triumphing over evil.
I recommend this book as an entertaining absorbing tale that will ultimately make you smile with its side- swipe at life. Review By
