PRAISE

“A quick-paced adventure story with a very visual style.”

“College sophomore Bowling's first novel, begun while he was still in high school, spins a tale of high fantasy on the surface, but deeper down it explores the struggles of youth coming into adulthood and the need to bridge the gap between the generations in order to win safety for the world. This standalone tale leaves room for further adventures and is a good choice for adult and YA readers. Recommended for most libraries.”

“This epic tale is an extremely strong first novel.”

“Drew Bowling will bowl over fantasy readers with this terrific sword and sorcery tale.”

“An impressive debut... [with] added touches of horror, at which the author excels.”

“A fast-paced, exciting adventure that doesn’t allow you to take a breath.”

“Drew Bowling’s The Tower of Shadows is simply elegant. This young writer doesn’t waste words; he uses just enough description to engage the reader’s imagination, inviting the reader to participate in the creation of the imagery. Reading The Tower of Shadows was a very visual experience, for me, as if I were there, or watching a movie.”

“Bowling’s debut is a fast-paced, accessible fantasy epic.”

“[Bowling] brings an exciting pace and his own exuberant style to a novel suitable for all ages.”
