Critics Review
“Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache.” –World Magazine
“If Bill Shakespeare and Jack Vance got together to write a fantasy novel about a young man training to be a stealer of shadows, A Shadow All of Light might well be the result. This is high-concept fantasy, magnificently executed, with many a deftly turned phrase to linger over and recall at leisure.” –Matthew Hughes, author of the Luff Imbry series
“The humor, inventiveness and suspense are top-notch, and the concept is as sly as Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire.” –Asheville Citizen-Times
“Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet’s deep love for words.” –Publishers Weekly
