Book Review: Shadow Prowler
Shadow follows the story of Harold, a thief tasked to recover the magic horn to keep the evil Nameless One black consumption in the kingdom of Siala. Teamed with Elfin Princess, ten members of a legendary warrior band known as the Wild Hearts, goblins and a buffoon, must make their way through a labyrinth composed of the bones of the dead to retrieve what has been stolen by demons hope to release their evil master.

The description of the ogres, orcs, demons, giants, elves, gnomes, wizards, warriors, thieves, and other fantastic creatures that really adds nothing stereotypical "unique" in the genre. Stylistically, the book does not flow, and the dialogue is frozen. The novel was written in Russian, so it may be just a bad translation rather than defects in writing Pehov's.
