![]() ![]() If you’re a fan of either Wheel of Time or Sanderson’s work, or maybe both, I think you have a great chance of loving this debut I certainly did. I do, however, consider Sanderson as one of the greatest fantasy authors of all time. ![]() ![]() ![]() For clarification, I’m not even a fan of Wheel of Time, I have DNFed the series upon finishing the fourth installment, and I’m not sure when I’ll get back to it. For the past three years, I’ve been hearing that if you love The Wheel of Time and Sanderson’s books, you’re going to love this trilogy, and they’re not wrong. Honestly, the only excuse I had for postponing reading this series for so long-even though I shouldn’t-was because of the famous cliffhangers endings of each book in the series that I’ve heard of, and I was waiting for the series to be completed. The Shadow of What Was Lost was recommended to me by my co-blogger, TS, for the first time in January 2017, and I have never gotten around to it until now. Islington took the best part-and cut all the unnecessary bloating-of Wheel of Time, maintained the inspirations he got from Sanderson’s Mistborn, and Islington added his own twists and originality into this highly ambitious debut. 8th November 2016 by Orbit (US) & 10th November 2016 by Orbit (UK). Published: 3rd August 2014 (self-published). Series: The Licanius Trilogy (Book #1 of 3) The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington ![]()
