Talk:Shadows Within (Book)/@comment-104.243.108.105-20201119035637

SPOILERS FOR THE BOOKS!

This book was a rollercoaster. A LOT happened here.Okay, Dustin is a Shadow Within. It wasn't explained how the Life Tree was damaged after the SkyTalons had visited the seagulls. The tree was damaged while Dustin was talking with Shadow and Cornelius, but how could he have damaged the tree at the same time while he was with them? Maybe he snuck off? I don't know. I'm probably thinking way too deep into this. One of my main complaints about this book is that nothing is explained about how Donovan died. And who is the pigeons' new leader, anyway? And since Jarquanzila revealed that he was acting badly, I still don't understand if he's supposed to be a good guy. He seems a little shady. And who saved Khan in the prologue? It doesn't say who saved him, or who the other Shadows Within is. And wow, was there a LOT of betrayal in this book. It feels like the minute I get close to a character, they reveal that they were evil all along. The characters seem pretty great at making lengthy and emotional speeches. And Ellagard is a sucker for last-minute rescues. Someone always has to save her. She was described as one of the fiercest and strongest birds in the tribes, but I feel that we never got to see her full potential in combat. Pretty much every battle she was getting her tail feathers kicked. Good book overall. This SkyTalons series is gripping!
