Shadow
Prowler was the first book
in the Chronicles of Siala. Pehov may be
well known in his native Russia
but I had never heard of him until I read that book. I think the quality of that book will insure
that Pehov will be known far and wide as well as in Russia. Shadow Harold, a master thief, finds himself
enmeshed with the establishment to save the world as they know it. This book carries on the story and gets the
band of misfit compatriots further along in their journey.
Shadow Harold, an enjoyable
rogue continues as the main protagonist.
However other characters such as Kli-Kli, the jester, become more
important as the story progresses. Harold, a master thief of exceptional skill
and a healthy interest in avoiding heroics, finds himself changing and to his
horror perhaps even becoming heroic.
Pehov provides suitable
mystery and excellent action.
I highly recommend the book and
am looking forward to the sequel.
