Shadow Star (Chronicles of the Shadow War, Book 3) (Shadow Wars)

this book is great i got it after my last copy fell apart. this book is the secound in a set of three. they are following the movie willow. if you like the movie willow this is a book for you.

I found this trilogy and sequel very enticing. I believe all three chronicles of the Shadow War were professionally written. I myself did not drag along in these books. In truth, if you drag along in any book, then you shouldn't be reading its genre. You don't just read a book looking for battles or other appealing factors to you. If you choose to start reading a book, then you should finish it. These books contained a vast amount of details that help the story along. If books did not contain such details, then the story, plot, theme, and characters would be dull as dirt. You see, books need detail to emphasize its components. It seems as if you are discouraging readers of Fantasy and or Fiction to read the Shadow War trilogy. I did not find the Shadow War trilogy hard to read or difficult and I did not become oblivious to what I just read, later discovering that they were in another area, and not knowing how they got there. No one can rightfully judge a book and discourage others not to buy it because they dislike it. Thus I believe that the authors of the commentary on the book Shadow Star and its two prequels who were odious to the trilogy should change their opinion to at least be neutral instead of offensive.

It has been clear from the beginning that the film "Willow" was meant to be an enjoyable romp full of flashy visuals and laugh-out-loud entertainment, and the books have shown what Lucas envisioned all along. A dark story, full of blood, death and fear. And I've enjoyed that! But I was always a little disappointed that the story in the first two books never seemed to connect to the film for me, changing Willow's name, and killing of major film characters...But along the way I have grown to enjoy the new characters, I felt that Khory was an excellent character, but to make me give this 5 stars I got what I wanted. In the final book everything tied back to the film. We relived emotions with Bavmorda, Kael, etc. and finally everything was wrapped up and questions answered. I'm not sure if I really liked the very end, but still give it 5 stars, as I could not put the book down and enjoyed it a great deal.

Here is the grand conclusion to George Lucas's epic fantasy saga "The Shadow War Chronicles". Here is where everything from the original Willow film and novel and the previous two volumes "Shadow Moon" & "Shadow Dawn" all culminate in a logical but completely stunning & shocking conclusion.This is the real son of "The Lord of the Rings" - complex, meaningful and deeply moving. Just buy the set and you will NOT be disappointed.If you feel a little confused by the scale and unfamiliararity of this saga, just trip on over to Lucasfan.com and check out the Willow.com site - you will find more than enough info there to get you up to speed. Enjoy!

This book answers every question you might have, and culminates the Shadow War saga with a BANG. It highlights and adds to the enjoyment of the entire saga, especially the original film WILLOW! After reading this book, you will watch the movie with a whole new set of eyes, and be able to appreciate on a whole different level. This book has made me realize that this Saga, not STAR WARS, is the true Master Saga that Georg eLucas was meant to write. Willow and the Shadow War is Lucas' Magnum Opus.
