This book is incredibly enjoyable. You can learn a lot about history and Elizabethan England because Cooper used real history to make us feel what Nat is feeling. Now as a child reader, or perhaps more precisely, as an older Middle Grade reader, as I believe King of Shadows is suitable from age eleven or so onwards, I would likely have simply taken and accepted the above mentioned reasons as to why Nat Field has to be switched with his namesake and Elizabethan counterpart Nathan Field as a basic and yes, even logical given (that because the historic, Elizabethan Nathan Field is ill with the bubonic plague, he might easily infect and likely kill William Shakespeare and thus destroy his literary legacy and fame). However, my adult self is of course a bit more jaded, cynical and fond of basic logistics. And if Shakespeare catching the plague from Nathan Field would kill him and thus prevent him from penning many of his most famous plays, then these plays should really by simple logic and deduction not even exist in the present day (but they in fact do, yet are deemed as threatened and in need of rescuing).Wu: If he is to bring the other weapons here, then I will take the Sword of Fire to the Underworld. It is my sacrifice to pay. This is a great book, not just because I love novels with a lot of plot twists, sincerely, because I enjoy the way Susan Cooper describes every single detail, like, the smells, the views... I just love it! Wu: The most powerful move in Spinjitzu can only be accomplished when all four elements are combined. Earth! Ice! Fire! Lightning!

Robert McCammon still amazes me. He doesn't pull punches, and he doesn't gloss over the details. If he sees you squirm, he'll keep on pressing. And he also knows how to make his characters more human. Good or bad, you will care for the people he creates. Toward the end of his life, when he was writing little, and acting less, he wrote one more great play, and he wrote you into it. Kai: No! It's mine. I shouldn't have come on my own.

Memory is the king of shadows,” DeKay repeated. “You being a problem-solver for the Herrald Agency ... you should know. How two people – three, four, a score of them – can witness the same moment yet have vastly different memories of it, thus throwing shadows over the absolute truth.”
