A vibrant, poetic fairy tale which I could not put down. In 2007, Ombria in Shadow was a Tähtifantasia Award nominee; in 2006, it won the Prix Imaginales for Roman étranger; and, in 2003, it won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. My Take McKillip's writing paints a lyrical story of an evil regent-in-waiting allied with a black magic against a waxling, a bastard, an about-to-be ex-mistress, and a young prince-in-waiting. This time, my friends, the shadows are on our side. The Story An unexpected death and a young prince enables a wicked relative to take power. In her greed, she pushes her victims into retaliation. An easier task as Ombria is a place heaped with history — and secrets. The Characters Lydea was the Prince's mistress. Mag is said to be a waxling created by a sorceress. Prince Kyel is the heir to the suddenly dead Prince of Ombria. A bastard, silver-eyed nephew who is obsessed with drawing. Domina Pearl is Kyel's wicked great-aunt. The Cover and Title The cover is a jewel of colors and richness as the curly and red-headed Lydea flees in her gorgeous blue court dress, a fan in one hand and a rose and locket in the other. The background is a collage of the city with various practical and fanciful architecture, a deep red velvet curtain gathered up on the top right with a richly colored border along the right and bottom edges. All the test is in white. The title is true, for Ombria in Shadow is with the death of its ruler.
