Book description
Okay, so let me tell you about this audiobook-Shadows by Robin McKinley. First off, if you're into that fantasy stuff but also like a good mystery with just the right amount of teen drama, this one's going to hit the spot.
The story follows Maggie, who notices something's not quite right with her mom's new husband, Val. Dude's from Oldworld, where magic is still a thing, and he's got these massive, terrifying shadows following him around. Like, nightmare fuel shadows. Meanwhile, in Newworld (where Maggie lives), magic's been outlaws for generations-tech rules everything now. So yeah, Val's presence throws up all kinds of red flags.
Then there's Casimir-this ridiculously gorgeous guy from Oldworld who seems to know more about Val than he lets on. Of course, Maggie gets pulled into the whole mess when things go sideways, and suddenly she's relying on both Val's creepy shadows and her own mysterious past.
What really works here is how McKinley blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. You've got your typical family dynamics mixed with political tension between two worlds that can't seem to get along. Science versus magic, tradition versus progress-it's all bubbling under the surface until it explodes in the best way.
And honestly, the narration makes it even better. The pacing keeps you hooked, and you feel every bit of Maggie's confusion and fear. It's like being right there with her, trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
If you're looking for something fresh in young adult fantasy, give Shadows a listen. It's got heart, mystery, and just enough spookiness to keep you up at night-in a good way.
