Reviews
Praise for A Shadow All of Light "If Bill Shakespeare and Jack Vance got together to write a fantasy novel about a young man training to be a stealer of shadows, A Shadow All of Light might well be the result. This is high-concept fantasy, magnificently executed, with many a deftly turned phrase to linger over and recall at leisure." -Matthew Hughes, author of the Luff Imbry series "Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet's deep love for words." - Publishers Weekly "More than the sum of its parts." - Locus, "Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache." -- World Magazine "More than the sum of its parts." --Locus "The humor, inventiveness and suspense are top-notch, and the concept is as sly as Lewis Carroll's Cheshire." -- Asheville Citizen-Times "Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet's deep love for words." -- Publishers Weekly, "Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache." -- World Magazine "If Bill Shakespeare and Jack Vance got together to write a fantasy novel about a young man training to be a stealer of shadows, A Shadow All of Light might well be the result.
