Melissa McPhail A Pattern of Shadow and Light

Paths of Alir is the third book in Melissa McPhail’s A Pattern of Shadow and Light Series. This series has really become one of my favorite fantasies so far. I read and reviewed book one, Cephrael’s Hand, last year and also posted about book two, The Dagger of Adendigaeth, just the other day as part of the massive blog tour that’s running through November 9th.

Read on for my thoughts on Paths of Alir and then check out the blog tour details to see what you can win during the tour!

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Review of The Dagger of Adendigaeth by Melissa McPhail

Melissa McPhail A Pattern of Shadow and Light

The Dagger of Adendigaeth is the second book in Melissa McPhail’s A Pattern of Shadow and Light series. I read the first book, Cephrael’s Hand, last year (absolutely loved it, by the way) and even read the book again for this year’s blog tour.

Fresh from re-reading Cephrael’s Hand, I was more than ready to dive into book two. The timing was just perfect because the third book, Paths of Alir, came out this month and I’m also posting a review of that book for this tour! Yay!

Anyway, read on for my thoughts on The Dagger of Adendigaeth and enter the blog tour giveaway! You can win a $50 Amazon gift card or an autographed copy of The Dagger of Adendigaeth! It’s awesome, right? ;)

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Cephrael’s Hand by Melissa McPhail

I read Cephrael’s Hand last year and really loved it. It’s a pretty long novel and may not appeal to everyone but it was one of the best I read that year and one of my all-time favorite fantasies. Every time I receive an email about blog tours for Melissa’s books, I’m always up for it because <3! :)

Now I was going to post a review of book two, The Dagger of Adendigaeth, today, but, alas, I won’t be able to since I decided to re-read Cephrael’s Hand first to refresh my memory. Hopefully I’ll have my review of book two up before the end of the tour. I bought the Kindle version of the book when it became available, but I fell in a seriouzly serious reading and blogging rut sometime after that so it’s been sitting in my iPad for AGES. This blog tour is just the perfect time for me to get back to this series, especially with book three coming out in October (OMG can’t wait!).

My Take on Magic Systems, guest post by Melissa McPhail (author of epic fantasy Cephrael’s Hand)

Please enjoy this guest post by Melissa McPhail, author of the spellbinding epic fantasy, Cephrael’s Hand. Melissa talks about the magic system she used in the book.
