War Among the Crocodiles The Shadow Wars Book 3 eBook Leah R Cutter Reviews
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book is an intricately woven and engaging story about a group of "shapeshifters" battling "soul eaters" in our world. There are lots of characters and plenty of action!
This is an honest review in exchange for receiving an ARC of the book.
I did not read the first 2 books in the series but that proved to be know problem. Leah Cutter introduced and developed believable and loveable characters. My personal favorite is Yvette. I will be going back and reading the first 2 books in the future and then rereading this one.
This proved to be an interesting book. I read the first one and this one. I wished I would have read Book 2 as well. I like how the different groups were solitary but when they needed help, they got together to save all. "When you hurt one, you hurt all..." I would recommend this series to all fantasy lovers.
This is an honest review given in exchange for an ARC from the Publisher.
I haven't read the first two books in this series, and somehow I wasn't sure that I'd like this one; it sounded interesting, but the fact that it went from character to character in each chapter made me think it would be too much bouncing from one pov to another to get attached to anyone in particular. I don't know that I felt as close to the characters as I have in some books, but I didn't feel distant, either, and I think the rapidly switching points of view added to the sense of urgency being felt to come up with a solution to the problem at hand.
I was really quite pleasantly surprised. Because there _are_ a lot of characters, and I didn't feel myself getting attached to them in the way that I normally would, but I did get attached to them. I wanted them to survive, and to succeed, and to overcome the evil forces that were standing in their way. It was delightful how _different_ they were. But what tied them together were the soul eaters, and having that thread/threat in common made them allies. I liked the way that things were happening on a more global level, then narrowing down to China.
I liked the storyline, and the concept of the different clans was interesting and well carried out. The differences between obtaining information in a true way, through time and effort, as opposed to through merely plucking it from someone's head with no effort at all, was interesting. The soul eaters were frightening, seemingly invincible--they made good villains. I didn't feel that this issue was really investigated in depth, but it was brought up at several points whether to kill just the bad magicians, or to kill _all_ of the magicians, "just to be sure," and I thought that raised an interesting point. Li Li felt that, as the one who had seen a revolution first hand, there would always been innocents who died as the result of rooting out evil. That's a prevalent philosophy about certain issues occurring now in politics, and I found the parallel interesting. (I'm using interesting a lot here, I realize). The forms that people who have been taken by the soul eaters also harkens back to one of the earlier forms used in visual media by George Romero, although it's only one of the characters, Carlos, who sees them as zombies. Maybe I'm reading too much into the soul eaters. Or reading too much news.
I also found the differences in the clans' perceptions of magic interesting. As I haven't read the first two, I am thinking that this works as a stand-alone because I didn't feel lost reading it, though I have the feeling I'd be more informed if I'd rest the first two. I would definitely recommend War Among the Crocodiles--it's a different take on shifter novels, and I enjoyed the way that the clans worked together. It reminded me a little of Anne Bishop's Others novels, just in the sense of the clans.
War Among the Crocodiles is the third book in the Shadow Wars Trilogy. The events in this book take place before and after the events in the first two books. The story takes place in an alternate world where shapeshifting clans such as serpents, tigers and boars, and human wizards live among unsuspecting humans.
The books shifts in point of view from chapter to chapter from various characters, members of different clans as well as wizards. The different story-lines begin when the characters are children and are just learning about their powers and abilities. It continues through the events of the first two books and the war with the Shadows (although only lightly touching on that war). After the war, the clans have been weakened by the fight with the Shadows and are easy prey to corrupt human wizards who eat their knowledge, powers and even their souls. The warriors who fought in the Shadow war, as well as new allies, will need to find a way to trust each other, and band together to defeat this new threat.
A reader new to this world can discover how the shapeshifting clans work while the children discover who they are and how to use their powers. Although it would be better to have read the first two books, the author explains the world of the clans and wizards well enough to enjoy this book as a stand-alone. There are a lot of characters, perhaps too many to become really attached to any of them. The fragmented nature of the book also makes the story move along fairly slowly at first. The build up to the initial shadow war and it’s briefly described conclusion could be disappointing to readers who haven’t read the first two books, but anything more would have been redundant to those already invested in the series. The Soul-eaters are an interesting new variation on an evil wizard/psychic vampire. They are selfish and almost childish in their need to suck up all the knowledge they can without actually working for it, or even using it well. The author touched on themes of consuming knowledge for the sake of consumption as well when to chose to stand by and watch while evil happens and when to act. Much of the novel takes place during and after the Cultural Revolution in China which added more depth to these themes.
I have read other works by this author and have enjoyed her sometimes dark and quirky characters. I think I would have enjoyed this work more if their had been perhaps a few less main characters (or if the novel had been a bit longer) so that I had enough time to really get to know and become invested in all the characters. No content inappropriate YA readers.
I enjoyed getting more in tune with the different groups. Great story. A real page turner, once I started I didn't want to stop reading. Fun. Can't wait for more.
