For this second collection of the previously serialized Shadow Spinner series, the author focuses on The Man With No Eyes, the Watcher, and Michael (Tib's father). Unfortunately, I can't give much more of a summary without giving spoilers, but I was sad to see my favorite character go, especially si...
I enjoyed the first part of the collection but it was NOTHING like this one. I mean, this was amazing. Tiberius really goes through some stuff. When his dad arrives ... then the shadows ... and the guy with no eyes ... and the creepy watcher guy ... and his mom ... and that stuff at the end ... o...
This is the first collection in a series to tell the story of Tiberius. This was a really good beginning. My favorite thing so far is the relationship that he has with the police officer. He really looks out for Tib and Tib feels safe around him. I also like the tunnel - it immediately draws you in,...
I first read the Shadow Spinner series in its multiple parts and am so happy to see them collected, for the first time, in a volume. Aside from making the story much more affordable, there is also more to read, and the bonus story "Like an Axe Through Bone", by Bryan Pedas, was absolutely amazing.Re...
We're getting back to the descriptions that first hooked me in Chapter 1. Tib's fears and feelings in the dark are wonderfully detailed. Excellent segment.
The age range for this book is a bit unclear, as it is definitely a middle-grade (3rd-5th) voice, but the content might be a bit dark for some YA readers. However, as an adult, I can happily say I enjoyed this chapter.
I was so happy to see that this section was longer than the others and the story picked up steam again. The new cover is compelling and lends suspense to the events of the chapter. I am excited to keep on reading! Definitely one of my favorite chapters so far!
Nonessential Read in the SeriesUp until this point, I have enjoyed the Shadow Spinner series, but I was quite confused by Part Three: The Bedroom.The story does not pick up at the cliffhanger it left off on in Part Two, rather, the scene after. I was so confused by the transition that I actually had...
I enjoyed this chapter a lot; by itself, it stood on it's own, but Andrew Leon involves his audience in the tale's construction, with author's notes, which I find very fun to read, and in Part Two, he even includes a prior version of the chapter, told from another character's POV. It's so much fun t...
What a breath of fresh air! I picked up Shadow Spinner for the pure novelty of a serialized story, but I was really impressed by the seemingly effortless way in which Andrew Leon uses his words to make the story jump off the page.'Tib', as the author affectionately refers to him in the author's note...
