"Fantasy With Plenty of New and Different Twists"
Sister Light, Book One: Of Shadows By: B.B. Walter
Reviewed by: Stephanie Johnson
Rose, orphaned since birth and alone after a terrible raid on the convent in which she was raised, finds she is unable to control her deadly gift as rage and fury overtake her. After a retaliation against the Kijack--the horrid creatures responsible for the raid--she finds herself in the care of a young nobleman, David of Constantine. David, who is betrothed to another woman takes pity on Rose and wants to help her at all cost, even if it is against the wishes of his fiancé.
Now the Kijack are mounting a full scale invasion of the kingdom. A war is beginning and David, Rose, and many others find themselves being drawn into battle.
Sister Light is a fantasy with plenty of new and different twists. It is a refreshing change of pace filled with action, adventure, romance, and revenge. Any fantasy reader will enjoy this story. The end leaves the reader with anticipation, hoping that book two will not be too long in coming.
Sister Light is aimed at intelligent readers who want something that has all the rumor of a classic but also an unrefined real-world depth. Walter opens her dark fantasy, Sister Light: Book One: Of Shadows, with a prophecy: "Beware the child with the pale blue eyes." From there she takes you on a compelling journey through the fantastical alternate world terrorized by the blood thirsty Kijack. The Kijack are bird like creatures with no conscience and a passion for torture. As such, an imminent sense of danger looms over the characters throughout the entire book. The author inextricably weds the characters to the land from which gave them life. She plays with the eeriness of a beleaguered homeland scattered with defenseless villages and wavering kingdoms. Loosely woven initially, Sister Light finds its voice as the story progresses. This author defies convention by shocking the reader with disturbing imagery and gothic vengeance. The divided provinces in this fabricated old w! orld domain reach out beyond the pages to lure the reader within. I was captivated throughout the story due to the nonstop intensity and visual strength. There's a quality to Walter's storytelling that makes this novel very much like a disturbing fable. The story progresses with a glimpse into the sinister and ominous sovereigns where the enemies are plotting against the kingdom. There is no neat and tidy ending to this book. It openly entices the reader to continue the journey into the next book. I look forward to, not only seeing how the author hones her literary skills, but also to find out how it all turns out. Sister Light: Book One: Of Shadows is a must read for those who love a good fantasy with all the trappings of a gothic world full of turmoil, intimacy and horror. ~Amazon subscriber: Bibliophile
