King of Shadows Summary | SuperSummary

Nat's new life is full of excitement, danger, and the passionate friendship that he has longed for since the tragic death of his parents. But why has he been sent to the past - and is he trapped there forever? Wu: The most powerful move in Spinjitzu can only be accomplished when all four elements are combined. Earth! Ice! Fire! Lightning! After the Githyanki drove him from the Astral Plane, the King of Shadow was still able to somehow return to Faerûn, and the Sword Coast North, where he began to extend his influence from the Mere of Dead Men. This is a great book, not just because I love novels with a lot of plot twists, sincerely, because I enjoy the way Susan Cooper describes every single detail, like, the smells, the views...

Although there were a couple violence issues, the King of Shadows is impeccably written: all the scenes come alive in a way I have very rarely seen. The characters are strong and believable and the plot twisted many times which kept the story interesting. Maybe it was bound to happen at some point. Maybe it was too much to hold out hope that McCammon could maintain the high quality that I’ve come to expect from the wonderful Matthew Corbett series, even with it being eight books deep at this point. Well here it is, this book marks the dip in quality. The company is nervous as it is believed that Queen Elizabeth I herself may come to see the play. But the big day arrives and all goes well. Nat, a boy from 1999, meets Queen Elizabeth.

My top book of 2022 so far. I could leave it at that, but why say a few words when you can say a thousand? King of Shadows is another immense achievement from one the most skilled and talented authors in the business.

My other major issue with the series, is the degradation of the adversaries pitted against Corbett. Almost every major fantasy and horror series has this problem of getting to the high stakes and the major monsters early in the game and being at a loss what to come up with to trump them in later books. Matthew Corbett finds himself on a ship towards a place he doesn't want to go in search for someone he doesn't want to find and doing the bidding of someone he doesn't want to follow. But then he reminds himself of Plutarch's words: "Fate leads him who follows it, and drags him who resists." I won’t tell you more as not to give anything away about the plot, suffice it to say it is surprising.

Retailers:

The latest addition to the Matthew Corbett series is another brilliant book, I have said it before, this series is my favorite book series ever, McCammon has such a rich fantasy, the writing is so good, and you never know what to expect because each book is so different from the next. King of Shadows was adapted for the stage in 2005 and first performed by the New York State Theatre Institute (NYSTI) starring P. J. Verhoest as Nat, David Bunce as Shakespeare, John Romeo as Burbage, and Aaron Marquise as Roper. There are worse than Professor Fell out there. I have a feeling that Professor Fell will seem as a kindly old uncle bouncing baby Corbett on his knee when you meet who’s waiting for you in the future. Because take it from me, my boy ... the worst is yet to come.” After saving his fiancee and his best friend from the village of the damned ruled by Fell, Corbett must now fulfill his promise to embark on a trip to Italy in search of a magical mirror the criminal master hopes to use to summon a powerful demon. I highly rate this book as a good way to get younger students interested in Elizabethan history and introduce them to the works of Shakespeare. Although it can be a little gruesome in places, Cooper writes with fantastic accuracy about what Elizabethan life would actually be like, especially through the eyes of a modern day child. There is however room for character development of Elizabethan Nat although this opens doors for a class project along the lines of ‘imagine you are Elizabethan Nat transported to modern times. Write a diary entry as if you are him explaining how you feel and how life is different for you’.

Serija, prasidėjusi kaip istorinis detektyvas su nuotykio priemaiša, kuo toliau, tuo labiau virsta istoriniu nuotykiu su vos vos įmaišyta mistika ir detektyvu. Bet labai skųstis neverta, McCammonas moka pasakoti nenuobodžias istorijas. Susan Cooper is a genius writer who describes things such as smell, noise, feeling, tastes so richly, it made me feel like I was in the scene with Nat. (Although, sometimes there are things that I don’t want to imagine...) There are lots of scenes that are difficult to imagine in this book because she writes about an old period but the letters make me see the scene, when I close my eyes.
