Ruled by Shadows An Epic Fantasy Romance Light and Darkness Book 1 eBook Jayne Castel Tim Burton

Ruled by Shadows is a delightful twist on the Heroes Journey, in that the young farm boy trope is replaced by a young female kitchen girl. Filled with interesting characters and a world that feels large and believable I very much enjoyed immersing myself in the culture and history of Castel's creation - and let's not forget the magic!
I was a little surprised to discover that this is technically a standalone novel, the follow up uses the same world but shifts focus to secondary characters. Fortunately all Castel's characters are interesting, so this is a positive, (personality I prefer standalones) but I just wasn't expecting it as I had assumed being high fantasy it followed a standard trilogy format.

Ruled by Shadows An Epic Fantasy Romance Light and Darkness Book 1 eBook Jayne Castel Tim Burton Reviews

Soaked in the surrounding darkness of the enchanted story told by Jayne Castle until I felt part of the script! Good versus Evil, youth verses skilled warrior-throw in the magical beings and a little romance and we have an excellent tale! Kept Turning the pages to see what would happen! Love surprises.
Ruled By Shadows is an epic fantasy romance with action, adventure, and a creative storyline. I enjoyed several of the characters. I commend the author for wanting to write the main heroine to be an average human with no super powers or as a ass-kicking warrior beauty. However, I felt I lost touch with the story because she was so helpless and relied way too much on the others, yet she was commended as a strong and brave woman. I just didn't feel she deserved it.
I have read other novals of the author's and I absolutely recommend reading this author's novels.
I begin with the very nice cover and maps at the beginning of the story which were very helpful to follow the heroes as they move from one place to the next.
Jayne writes a very interesting tgale with Lilia as the main character with faithful Dain at her side, manipulative Saul and mysterious Ryana. There were many things in the book that show Tolkien's influence (not in a bad way) in the writer's writing but, since I love Tokien, I also like to see his influence on the younger generation of writers.At the end of the book the reader is left with a satisfied "amen" to the conclusion of the current story and the wish to see more of the characters and explore Asher's and Ryana's story in the next books.
Liked it
Excellent book. Some unique ideas (which is very refreshing), and complex, well developed, characters and plot, made this a very enjoyable read.
Loved this book. I was invested in the characters with the author drawing me into their lives. Great story line. Looking forward to reading her next book in the series.
This is my honest and unbias opinion of the story. Jayne Castel is becoming one of my favorite authors. She brought this story alive to me so I felt like I was living it not just reading it. This book has very strong characters and well written plot. I loved reading it. I love reading fantasy and this book when you purchase it will not disapoint you at all. I can not wait to read the next book I loved this one so much it can only get better reading as the series goes on.
