The Shadow Waiting on its Throne: The Book of Scent

The History of Light #3

by Kevin Hincker

The Shadow Waiting on its Throne begins in the seconds after Book Two ends, as Asher discovers new psychic powers and wonders — if he's psychic, how come he never knows what’s about to happen next? Crises and enemies start coming in waves, while, for the first time in years, Asher considers painting again. Even the Brazilians seem to have returned. And to top it all off, time itself is ending in three months. His sister, his parents, his girlfriend—even Veronica, his billionaire—are all imperiled, and Asher looks more and more like Skysill's only hope. And in the background the ghost mountain looms ever closer, carrying atop it The Shadow Waiting on its Throne .

[Me, My Shelf, & I · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this installment we learned more about the history of Asher's parents and the history of ghosts and the history of the Big Bad.

Lots of history! (It does feel like an installment in a larger book, so it's hard to review on its own.)

Review and read dates are for the whole series; I read it in one go. It really should be one book; the individual books didn't really have any resolved arcs of their own.

Interesting concept, decently executed.
