4/5 Stars (%82/100) As someone who is familiar with Zelazny's style, I quite enjoyed this book as well. Jack of Shadows presents a world which is half light (science-based and pretty similar to our world) and half dark (magic-based meaning it is closer to fantasy). In this world, there is a being called Jack of Shadows and often called Shadowjack as well. Jack has a unique power that makes him extremely powerful in shadowy places, and weak in absolute darkness and in light. Jack is wrongly executed and he starts his journey towards revenge. However, not everything is going to go according to his plan. I absolutely loved Jack as the protagonist because he is not the kind of a protagonist we, as the reader, are accustomed to see. He is morally gray, and often evil and despite being extremely strong, he has human-like qualities, like emotions. Throughout his journey, Jack's character changes and it was great to see how this man transformed from a villain, or an anti-hero to a hero. He is very well-written and reminds me of Sam from Lord of Light. I also loved the character of Morningstar even though he appears very rarely in the book. I loved the fact that world was split into two and how it is a great symbol for Jack's character and journey. I don't want to spoil it for you but you should definitely check it out. Since this is Zelazny, his writing style might be a bit challenging at first. However, when you get through some parts, it is absolutely genius.
