Meanwhile, Josephine has taken an army north. She received word of an invasion from that direction and hopes to halt it in its tracks. Of course, she also secretly hopes to find Caim while she's at it. Unfortunately her army is tiny compared to the opposing force she finds. And at the head of the horde from the north is Talus, the Thunder Lord, a sorcery who has destroyed all who oppose him using his magic.
While helping Caim out here and there, Kit is also left with a big decision to make. At the end of Shadow's Lure, Caim declared he loved her. But being Fae, they cannot touch one another. And so she struggles with a difficult choice: does she love him enough to give up her immortality?
As with the previous two books, I really enjoyed Shadow's Master. I liked that less time was spent with Josephine (in the previous book, I found that her chapters tended to drag on a bit). But I also liked her chapters a bit better; they were shorter and filled with more action. As I said before, in Shadow's Lure her chapters are full of political intrigue, which is fine but not what I personally wanted out of the Shadow Saga. In Shadow's Master Josey has gone to war, and so her chapters have more action and less intrigue. I also have to add that unlike the previous two books, Caim doesn't spend most of his time grievously injured. Sure, he gets cut up in fights and whatnot, but no bear this time (I know, I'm a big fan of Caim's rotten luck from the previous two books).
So overall, having read the entire trilogy, I really enjoyed it. I look forward to whatever Sprunk works on next!
