The Shadows: (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 13) by JR Ward | Summary & Analysis


Book*Sense - 2015
    R. Ward | Summary & Analysis This is a Summary & Analysis of The Shadows. Bestselling author JR Ward’s The Shadows continues the current tendencies of modern vampire fiction as TrezLath and iAm, as well as their friends and associates, stumble into and through romance. Their stumblings produce politically charged results that speak to the arcane bureaucracies associated with vampiric depictions since Rice and White Wolf and permit the kind of open violence to be expected of super-strong, long-lived, intelligent predators stalking the nights of a world not unlike that of readers. J. R. Ward’s The Shadows, continues the Black Dagger Brotherhood series into its thirteenth volume. In its main storylines, TrezLath and iAm both find their ways into romances that manage to reinforce their fraternal bonds. The former seeks to escape a predetermined stud-duty in no small part because of his falling into a love he ultimately loses, which the latter unexpectedly finds himself in love with a lover initially promised to another. Several other plot threads seem to flow from earlier volumes and suggest future works in the series, both in terms of personal investment and of political intrigue. This companion to The Shadows also includes the following: • Book Review • Story Setting Analysis of The Shadows • Story elements you may have missed as we decipher the novel • Details of Characters & Key Character Analysis • Summary of the text, with some analytical comments interspersed • Thought Provoking /or Discussion Questions for both Readers & Book Clubs • Discussion & Analysis of Themes, Symbols… • And Much More! This Analysis of The Shadows fills the gap, making you understand more while enhancing your reading experience.
