Sinossi
Sono passati vent'anni da quando gli Augurs, considerati alla stregua di divinità, sono stati spodestati e uccisi. Ora, chi una volta li serviva - i Talenti - sono stati risparmiati solo perché hanno accettato i Quattro Canoni della ribellione, limitando enormemente i propri poteri. Come giovane Talento, Davian soffre le conseguenze di una guerra persa prima che nascesse. Lui e i suoi amici sono disprezzati dai più al di fuori delle mura della scuola per i magici poteri che non possono più esercitare... poteri che Davian, anche con i migliori sforzi, non riesce a controllare. Peggio ancora, con l'avvicinarsi del test finale e delle gravose conseguenze nel caso dovesse fallire, il tempo per superare le sua paure si sta esaurendo rapidamente. Quando però scopre di essere in grado di gestire i poteri proibiti degli Augurs, mette in moto involontariamente una catena di eventi che cambieranno la sua vita e scuoteranno il mondo per sempre...

4.5 Wow. Po prostu wow. Jestem tak zaangażowana i zafascynowana tą historią, jak dawno żadną inną. Odkąd ją skończyłam, siedzę i nie mogę uwierzyć w co przeczytałam. Poproszę drugi tom!
This reads like a cross between Sanderson and Wheel of Time. What a flipping great debut!! Final Rating: 4.3/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Going back to Islington's first series before diving into the hype that is 'The Will of the Many' was a really great choice. Good job past decision-making Ira.

Check out my YouTube channel where I show my instant reactions upon finishing reading fantasy books. Felt very "so so" on this one, and I can tell that over time this story is going to turn rather forgettable for me. Everything just felt kind of "generic fantasy" to me without much memorable goin
I received a review copy of The Shadow of What Was Lost in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank James Islington and Orbit Books. To begin with, I really thought this was going to be a "run of the mill" chosen one in a magic school sort of fantasy adventure. Thankfully only about 5-10 Leggi tutto
The Shadow of What Was Lost was an excellent fantasy début and a great start to an exciting new fantasy trilogy. Reading this actually felt a lot like reading a Sanderson book with a little bit of Wheel of Time and X-Men thrown in for good measure. That might sound a little unoriginal but Islington Leggi tutto
2020 Reread update: [5/5 stars!] Responsible for one of my favorite reading experiences in 2017, I originally reviewed the first two books for a newspaper. I addressed the series as a whole and didn’t have the word count to really delve into specifics of each book. I also averaged my ratings of the Leggi tutto
