Hi everyone
A Dance of Mirrors is the third and final book in the Shadowdance series by David Dalglish.
I read this on my e-reader.
"Haern is the King's Watcher, protector against
thieves and nobles who would fill the night with blood. Yet hundreds of
miles away, an assassin known as the Wraith has begun slaughtering those
in power, leaving the symbol of the Watcher in mockery.
When
Haern travels south to confront this copycat, he finds a city ruled by
the corrupt, the greedy and the dangerous. Rioters fill the streets and
the threat of war hangs over everything. To forge peace, Haern must
confront the deadly Wraith, a killer who would shape the kingdom's
future with the blade of his sword.
Man or God; what happens when the lines are blurred?"
I did not enjoy this book at all.
Haern’s decisions and actions were so frustratingly stupid that I found myself rolling my eyes constantly. How could he not see the consequences of his actions? It was beyond irritating. The characters lacked depth, and unfortunately, this didn’t improve as the series progressed.
While the book is easy to read and packed with events, it all felt pointless. The story didn’t seem to go anywhere
I’m not sure if I’ll try anything else by David Dalglish, but if I do, I’m not sure what to pick. Do you have any suggestions?
While A Dance of Mirrors wrapped up the Shadowdance series, it left me frustrated. The story had potential, but it never quite delivered.
Have you read A Dance of Mirrors or any other books by David Dalglish? If you have recommendations for his work (or something completely different) I’d love to hear them!
Happy reading!
Helena
