Shadowplay by L.R. Lam, L.R. Lam, L.R. Lam

4.0

Pantomime blew my mind with it's uniqueness. It was one of those young adult fantasy novels that you can recommend only to real fantasy connoisseurs looking for something different.

Still great:
+ Beautiful descriptions
+ Unique characters
+ Intriguing setting. Especially those penglass domes no one can open. I keep wondering what secrets they hide within'.
+ After circus now we get behind the scenes of magic shows. I always like to hear how magic tricks are really performed.

Could have been better:
- The plot dragged out.
- Too many questions left unanswered.
- I expected that relationship between Micah and Drystan would evolve more...

After awesome first book, the second book in Micah Grey series felt disappointingly average, if we ignore beautiful writing and unique characters. I hope the next book will be better.
