Shadowplay was almost as magical as it's prequel. I missed the magic of the circus a little but new characters introduced in this book largely made up for that. Micah was still a great character and I loved his relationship with Drystan. There was just a wonderful atmosphere throughout the entire story.

The only thing I have to complain about is that I felt like the backstory and visions were shoehorned in the story a little awkwardly, it didn't flow as well as the rest.

Still, this is a minor thing. I really loved this book and I'll wait anxiously for the next one.
