The difficulty in keeping such a series moving with three major (and many minor) intertwined stories is that every book must leave loose ends in order to lead you into the next. With the time gap between books, I almost need to reread the previous book to remind myself just who all the amazing characters are and how they have grown since the beginning. Given that format for these books, Ms. Galernorn does an excellent job of drawing you from one main character to the next. In this installment, Menolly gains acceptance of her vampiric nature as Roman exposes her to his mother, Blood Wyne, and Menolley clears the air regarding the relationship between herself and Nerissa and Roman. There was also some apparent reconciliation between the sisters and their Otherworld father, which seems to foreshadow a bigger role of him in their lives.The ever-looming Shadow Wing... kept looming. Does it need to loom like Mordor until the last book? I would like to see some resolution there, allowing the sisters to deal with other concerns in future books. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful world *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2013* The world in this series is so awesome. My favorite characters are Delilah, Shade, Iris and Maggie. But this is a Menolly book. I suppose I don't really relate to her character and thus find it difficult to imagine seeing it through her eyes, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. However, the whole series feels a little too rocking-to-the-beat-of-(insert any one of the bands/artists name-dropped in the book), and disgustingly fashionista in a carrie-from-sex-and-the-city-makes-me-wanna-stab-out-my-eyes-and-eat-them-so-i-could-puke-them-up kinda way. I don't happen to care that so-and-so's chartreuse leather ruffle pointed toe stiletto boots are from Nordstrom's. I just don't care. But the world that Galenorn creates is magically delicious. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A bit of a let-down *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012* I really, really enjoyed this authors work for a long time, but I feel it is becoming a bit stagnant. Menolly and her relationship with Nerissa are two of my favorite things about this series, but I really didn't feel that they went anywhere here (despite the book's ending). The Otherworld series has kind of become the Power Rangers of urban fantasy. There is the same big-bad (Shadow Wing) sitting out there in space somewhere, and they girls really haven't done anything about him. There's a big villain in every book that is somehow related to the big-bad. Girls fight back, and the book ends. I don't really feel that the main characters are even really making any progress, and they are a dozen books into the series. The spirit seal plot line, which I once thought would be the primary focus of the books, seems to be getting ignored for wide swaths of time.Also, Menolly really didn't seem to do much in this book, outside of dealing with personal issues on both the Roman and Nerissa front. It just didn't seem that Menolly was really taking the lead as much as she has in previous books. Also, I think that the author has now introduced a few too many characters, and her noble attempts to give them all face-time means that it's beginning to feel congested to me. But my biggest complaint is that I would like to see Nerissa (Menolly's primary romantic interest) a little more involved in the primary plot. Unlike the other sisters' romantic interest, Nerissa seems to be treated as more of an accessory than a real player, and even if she isn't a fighter, surely she can help out the sisters (and her lover) in more ways than she is.My fondness for this particular character and for the author's body of work in general are really the only thing keeping this from sliding into 2-star territory. I'll certainly pick up the next book (which will be Camille-centric, meaning that the author will probably give the main character more to do), but will probably drop the series after that if we don't start seeing some kind of light on the horizon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/14427295-shadow-rising](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/14427295-shadow-rising) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
