The Shadow's Servant

The Shadow Magic Series, Book 2

By: Justin Swapp

Narrated by: Steve Barnes

If knowledge is power, then what's a secret?

A year after thwarting the Kabbahl's attempt to restore shadow magic, the impetuous Marcus Fith, denied the opportunity to help his family search for his sister, decides to take matters into his own hands. When the only meaningful clue his family has seen mysteriously shows up - a letter addressed to him... written in his own blood - Marcus escapes in order to work out the set of expiring instructions that promise to lead him to his sister.

Promises are slippery things, however.

What follows is an adventurous tale filled with shady characters, betrayal, magical monsters, and an epic battle that is just beginning.

If only Marcus and Ellie knew what they've started...

Closure

This is a good conclusion to the shadow servant storyline. But I’ve got a suspicion that Justin has left the story open for the Fifth to get into some more trouble. It was a great ride and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The only issue I had was that Ellamir and Ellie sounded like the same character, and it was a little annoying that Marcus learned no new magic in the year his sister was missing. And he had an uncanny luck that seemed frustrating, but maybe that’s his magic power.

amazing book

Book two in the series

Enjoyed this book as well as book one. I would listen to other books by this author.

Narration was excellent. I would listen to this narrator again.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Book was hard to put down. Finished it in two days

Love Justin Swapp and the Shadow Magic Series! His books are hard to put down because they are so creative, fun and engaging.

A worthy sequel

This book picks up one year after The Magic Shop. With his sister missing, Marcus will do almost anything to her back, except sit and wait for the adults to do everything.

When an unexpected guest shows up his new adventure begins. The search for his sister.
This book shows what Marcus would do for family, including the hardest thing, forgiving them.
