#Comstock shadow blade series

Reviewed by a young adult student reviewer Flamingnet Book Reviews Teen books reviewed by teen reviewers Once I picked it up and started reading it, I couldn't stop!! It was by far one of the best books I have ever read! It had a few cuss words every now and then. It always kept me wanting to see what would happen next. Will they be able to destroy Enig and keep the dagger safe, or will Enig destroy them first and get the dagger? I thought this book was very well written. By doing that they are going to make a replica of the ancient dagger and try to trick Enig into thinking it is the real one. In order to keep the 'Dagger of Khefetrum' safe they must destroy Enig. Khefar dies that night, but it turns out ht Khefar has an after life, so that means that he wakes up the next morning. In the middle of the fight, Khefar is bitten by the ferocious animal. Before Kira can get back to her feet Khefar is fighting the demon destroying it.

With her crashed motorcycle on the ground, Kira gets up and reaches for her lightblade, but someone gets to it before her.Khefar. In and instant, she and her motorcycle are flipped over on to the ground. She gets out her lightblade, but not fast enough. While Kira is on her way home from her meeting with Khefar she discovers a demon that she has a problem with. Khefar is the real owner of the ancient dagger. Kira meets Khefar a 4,000 year old immortal. That dagger is the 'Dagger of Khefetrum.' Enig a Shadow Avatar sends out one of his demons to get the ancient dagger. Bernie has one of the most powerful daggers in the world. Why should Khefer remember what he was doing fifteen HUNDRED years ago? Brilliant! And I absolutely loved that line about history happening when you're just living your life. A four thousand year old Nubian warrior who didn't even need to learn to read or write prior to the Roman empire? EXCELLENT! I can't remember what I was doing fifteen years ago on this day. But it doesn't make sense if you think about it. I've gotten so used to just accepting that a thousand year old vampire has perfect recollection of his time as a human because that's how it almost always seems to be written. BRILLIANT scene and truly.finally addressed one of the most niggling issues I've ALWAYS had when books include long-lived races or individuals. Also tremendously well done - and refreshing for the very sense it made - was Khefer's reaction to Kira's inquiries and curiosity about his four thousand years on the planet. And for me personally, the development of the relationship between Kira and Khefer not only worked and was realistic and believable, but it was laden with both tenderness, hope, and at one point, one of the most sizzling kisses I've read in any novel this year. And kudos to Glass for the masterful development of Kira through the arc of the story. I believed it utterly and I sympathized completely with her, as my admiration for her as written grew and grew. The wounds on a person's psyche under those conditions are unimaginable, horrifying, and entirely well represented by Kira's responses to events in Shadow Blade. Twenty-six years of complete physical solitude unless she's killing. The poor girl has been able to touch exactly NO ONE in her entire life without it ending in coma or death or pain. Some reviews have criticized that dichotomy, but for me, it made perfect sense. I found the lead character, Kira Solomon, to be a stunning blend of intelligence, confidence, and aptitude with her work (both jobs), devotional commitment to her calling, and refreshing innocence and sense of yearning with everything else. I was really impressed with the flawless blend of history and mythology that never - for me - bogged down the story or stuttered the plot. I just need to express what I most enjoyed about it. I'm not going to summarize the plot here, as it's been done sufficiently in the product description and in more depth in other reviews. I'm thrilled to say that Shadow Blade hit all my happy spots. Not because I didn't like how it ended, but because I was so impressed with Seressia Glass' fully developed and vibrant world rich with ancient Egyptian and Africa history, not to mention the three dimensional characters, zippy narrative, and intriguing plot.

The first thing I did when I finished reading Shadow Blade earlier this morning was make sure that my memory was correct, and that it was the beginning of a series and not a standalone novel.
