Shadow Born: Good or evil?
That is the question throughout this book. If you are Shadow born are you good or evil? Maybe a little bit of both. We all have a little of both inside of us. It's how we choose to use it that makes the difference.

I have been fascinated with the Shadowlight Series from the start, the battle between good and evil. We learn more about the Shadows world, is there some good in him? Ginna was taught to always be good but she knows she has darkness within her. Her story and that of the friends she meets on her journey was intriguing, after all don’t we all have good and evil inside us. Hope I don’t have to wait another 4years for the next book

Unbelievable Fight Scene
Apparently, I am to believe that Toka, a 15 year old skinny girl, while in a fight, hit a beast of a man in the jaw and knocked him cold. And the second male suddenly had an epiphany about right and wrong while attempting to rape Toka? You should have brought the spirit walkers in to save Toka and Ginna before those idiotic scenes. It ruined the whole book.
