The Shadow Glass by Josh Winning
2.5
This is like How to Sell a Haunted House meets Five Nights at Freddie’s meets Spiderwick.
”Jack, didn’t you hear Brol’s story? The Shadow Glass was stolen from the kettu castle, Nebfet was enchanting it when Zavanna found her…none of that happened in the movie. We’re in new territory. We’re in a real-life sequel to The Shadow Glass! I always wanted to find out what happened next, and now we’re living it!”
What happens when fiction and reality collide?
This isn’t a book that gets a lot of attention, but those who have read it have raved about it.
I think this was another case of me having very didn’t expectations.
This book is a homage to the 80s and 90s that shows love for cult 1980s films like The Dark Crystal, The NeverEnding Story and Labyrinth.
Considering I have never watched those, and I was born in 2003, so I couldn’t tap into that nostalgia.
I feel like this book is made for a very specific audience and unfortunately that wasn’t me.
