Review the Book | Vikki Gremel<\/h3>\n

Eclipsed by Shadow<\/strong> is such an interesting book! I learned so much about horses in history – it really was intriguing. I think that this book would be fantastic for any horse lover – boy or girl. There are so many different characters interwoven into the fabric of the story that it would appeal to a variety of young adults.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the “journey” very much. The opening chapters of the book provided a good background for the story, and I’m very anxious to read Book II. The end of the book leaves you hanging by a thread … wondering where the next adventure will take place.<\/p>\n

Meagan, the heroine of the story, is a clever, levelheaded girl. She loves horses, and more importantly, KNOWS horses. Any future horsewoman can glean much from this book.<\/p>\n

The importance of kindness both to people and to animals is prevalent throughout the story, and is not “preachy”, just appreciated.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed this book! Well done, John Royce!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
