The first three Spiderworld books, released from 1987 onwards, were engrossing fantasy books, full of menace and high adventure. Shadowlands offers a far more thought provoking read, with very little action, very limited adventure and a variant of fantasy which seems very far removed from that of the books written over two decades ago. Here the journey is as much spiritual as physical, and the exploration of new lands is clearly secondary to Wilson's desire to create new creatures and cultures. The trolls and elementals of Shadowlands are rather uninteresting though, even though they offer original territory for the series and are interesting conceptually, they don't create any of the engagement of the warring factions seen before. It's an unfortunate way to offer closure to a great series and although readers of high-brow fantasy will enjoy the narrative style and journey, fans of the originals may be disappointed. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Welcome to twenty-fifth century Earth, a land lorded over by giant spiders and beetles whose ever-expanding consciousness has supplanted our own ever-diminishing one. From among this now-inferior race rises a hero, a young man named Niall whose powers of mind rival those of the spiders. Soon, Niall leads an assault on the very heart of the spiders' city and strength, and discovers the mysterious source of their power. In his quest to unite the disparate forces of this harsh new world, Niall makes shocking discoveries about both his own people and the rapidly evolving spiders. Niall, in an effort to save his brother's life, sets off through a secret passage under the spiders' city and travels down an underground river through the territory of the chameleon men. Beyond this friendly territory however, danger awaits on his path over the mountains and into Shadowland--the lair of the Magician and his subjects. Along the way, Niall's adventures continue his development to the point that his powers arenearly superhuman. But the Magician's powers are far greater than Niall's, and soon they become engaged in a contest of strength. A contest Niall seems almost certain to lose....
