What a great debut novel! The story was exciting and the characters were strong. I enjoyed the plot and can't wait for a sequel! This is a story that can be enjoyed by younger readers too--my 10 year old sister enjoyed it. I'm excited for more from this author!

The Captor’s Shadow instantly pulled me in with the sense of wonder and danger wrapped around Jace’s journey. The idea of stumbling onto a quest as huge as finding the Power felt exciting but also terrifying, and I liked how the story doesn’t shy away from the consequences of leaving home too quickly. What really stands out is the tension between friendship, courage, and the larger forces chasing them down. It has that mix of adventure and darkness that keeps you turning pages to see how far Jace and his friends will go. A gripping, heartfelt read that blends high-stakes fantasy with the raw struggles of growing up too soon.
