BOOK REVIEW

Shadow of the Conqueror

Shad M. Brooks

10/10Written Jul 7, 2026

I believe that it is a good story, it needs a bit more to follow up. I also think adult topics can be in a book without also accusing the reader nor the writer of being into those topics. Many books where murder takes place are not written by murderers. Many books lack sincere evil. That is why pushing sincerity can be interesting. Plus the writer is a Mormon. I'm not a Mormon, but no way a Mormon is thinking ill or fetishizing in a book publicly. It's just good dark adult writing.
