Shadow's Son

This is one of the exceptions to my “to read” shelf in that it rates below my usual cut offs. I guess its the summary text that got me interested. If you were to make a template for a fantasy book this would probably be it. A confused hero, a strong but hesitant female, simple magic through elven lore, multiple city world etc etc. All in all a quick and easy read but it never crosses into something that will remain in your memory.
