Breath of fresh air

Just finished this book. Loved the unique setting. Loved this author's lushious writing style. And I loved the Dark Prince! It was so unlike what I usually read, but just the thing to clear the palate. Highly recommended!

So Wonderful.

I found this book to be very passionate, but more than that, the setting is beautiful. It is a very good story and a joy to read. I place it way up on my list of top reads of late along with Kenyon's Fantasy Lover, and Anything, My Love by Cynthia Simmons. Also enjoyed Beyond Seduction.

A Keeper For Me!

The Shadow Prince is well worth the read. I, too have read all Ms. Zimlich's books and am nothing but impressed by her writing ability. This book sweeps you into a fantasy past and showcases Ms. Zimlich's ability to create refreshing and innovative plots. The tension between the forces of good and evil grip you until the end of the story which Ms. Zimlich ties up quite cleverly. If you are looking for richy drawn, sympathetic characters and a fascinating read, I recommend this book.

Wow, wow, wow!

What a wonderful fictional world Jan Z. has created with her latest book, The Shadow Prince. It's filled to the brim with layers of conflict, beautifully detailed characters and a hero, Adrik--who is the ultimate hero. He is after all THE Shadow Prince. The woman who become Adrik's love, Adrienne, is a perfect match for him. You can't go wrong with The Shadow Prince. This book is going right on my keepers' shelf.

Zimlich at her best!

In her usual inimitable style, Jan Zimlich has penned a classic tale of anger and betrayal, love and passion. Set in a time all but forgotten except by those deeply in love with history, THE SHADOW PRINCE is almost fairytale like, and Lorienne and Adrik are so real they'll tear at your heartstrings. Tender, poignant love scenes will have you sighing deeply while reaching for your fan, and the occasional sparks of humor will cause you to laugh out loud. Yet through it all, the thread of anxiety at Adrik's fate is deftly woven, keeping the tension tight. As hard as I tried, I just could not see how she could possibly turn this around with a happy ever after ending, and just when I'd about given up hope-- she did it! Simply, realistically, while staying true to the storyline--she did it. I didn't even see it coming. And I cried.This story is a complete departure from Ms. Zimlich's other works. She started out writing Futuristics, and her last story was historical-like in a futuristic setting. As rich and engaging as these other stories are, I'm convinced she's finally found her niche with THE SHADOW PRINCE. Her love of history combines with her story telling ability to perfection. Once you begin reading THE SHADOW PRINCE, you won't want to put it down. I promise.
