It’s January of 1704, and Matthew Corbett continues his mission to Italy, accompanied by Hudson Greathouse and former enemy Professor Fell. They seek Brazio Valeriani and information about the mirror created by his father, the sorcerer Ciro. Legend claims the mirror can be used to summon demons from beyond.

But fate has other plans for Matthew as their ship is disabled by a pod of whales, and they seek refuge on a secluded island. The islanders welcome them with a massive feast, but all is not what it seems. As the island pulls them deeper into its influence, the castaways struggle to maintain their grip on reality, even their very identity. Matthew must keep his wits about him and solve the mystery enshrouding the other side of the island, where an active volcano looms and a secretive creature lurks.

The King of Shadows is the eighth installment in best-selling author Robert McCammon’s acclaimed series of historical thrillers featuring Matthew Corbett, a brave “problem-solver” who now faces a challenging foe that threatens to take over his most valuable resource: his own mind.

Love this series and happily, unlike others I could mention - Mr. Lynch - there is not that long between novels. I have given the max for the plot znd the writing. However, the kindle editing is all over the place with swathes of prose repeated and where are the illustrations? Hopefully Mr Kindle can get his minions on the case and rectify these faults.
Finally received hard copy and so disappointed as no illustrations. Proper let down. Had to knock a star off but this is no reflection on the author whatsoever.

There are great moments of writing in this tome and great moments of dull repititive to-ing and fro-ing. The denoument for the explanation of the beast is rather dull. I liked the claustrophobic atmosphere of the island and the tension it builds about how to escape. I also liked the backstories of certain characters but found myself skipping pages just to finish this tome. Its a bit flabby in sections ie hudson and brom fight, needed to be trimmed.

Another Amazing Matthew Corbett Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2022

Robert R. McCammon has made another amazing entry in the Matthew Corbett series. Though I understand some readers have been upset that this entry seemed to be a side note to the continued search for the mirror, I disagree. If Mr. McCammon decided to write ten more books in the Corbett series and continue with side adventures I would be happy. I say this because of Mr. McCammon's superb storytelling.
I dont really have much to add about the story in this book because I am sure others have explained the premise. I don't want to potentially give spoilers either.
I do want to comment on one character in particular. DeKay. I could not stop reading during DeKay's backstory. In addition, the backstory of Cardinal Black was equally a page turner (or page swiper on my Kindle).

Disappointed!

So disappointed in this book. I truly wonder if McCammon even wrote this one! It is not up to his usual standard and a poor addition to his Matthew Corbett series. This is at a 4th grade reading level also. I have always loved his writing and have read all of the Matthew Corbett novels. I am almost through this one but it has been a struggle to be sure. I will not be reading anymore. Maybe it’s time Matthew and Berry to get married and live happily ever after and Hudson to settle down with the widow and retire!
