The River of Shadows by Robert V.S. Redick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rating 3.5

The river of shadows continues the hunt for the mad sorcerer Arunis, as the conspiracy around the nilstone and those that want to use it expands and becomes much more complex. Pazel, Thasha, Neeps, Hercol and others continue their chase chase to finally catch and kill Arunis with success. However Arunis successfully releases the swarm as Thasha realizes that a great power has been hiding within her since her birth. There is a lot more that takes places but that would spoil the book for any futures readers.
