For generations the misty Shadowline has marked the boundary between the lands of men and the lost northern lands that are the lair of their inhuman enemies, the ageless Qar. But now that boundary line is moving outward, threatening to engulf the northernmost land in which humans still live - the kingdom of Southmarch.
For centuries, the Eddon family has ruled in ancient, forbidding Southmarch Castle, guarding the border against the Qar's return, but now this powerful royal line has been dealt a devastating blow. The monarch, King Olin, is being held captive in a distant land, and it falls to his inexperienced heirs to lead their people in a time of growing danger and dread.
It is on the two youngest Eddons that the heaviest burdens fall. The twins Barrick and Briony, who in such evil times have only each other, may lose even that bond as darkness closes over them. As the Qar’s power reaches out across their land, will Southmarch Castle, the only home they’ve ever known, become in fact what it has long been called - Shadowmarch?

Would you listen to Shadowmarch again? Why?
yes. This is a terrific story and a great performance.What was one of the most memorable moments of Shadowmarch?
Vansen and Barrick behind the shadowline was most memorable to me.What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Read the book! As far as listening to the story goes, Dick Hill was was remarkable. Unfortunately, his whiny voice for Briony was annoying and detracted from the intended feel of her character and the story itself, especially at first. Otherwise, the characters were superb. Unfortunately, when he read the storyline, the cadence of Hill's voice could also be very distracting and he over-performed at times. It could have been a masterpiece but these issues influenced the way the story came across. I did love his slow pace, his wonderful characterizations, his expert reading of this book. One of the best I've listened to despite the irritating flaws. One of my favorite books from Tad Williams.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I found this book to have no wasted words, a vibrant story that I will go back to.Could have been a masterpiece...maybe it was

What made the experience of listening to Shadowmarch the most enjoyable?
A very complex and imaginative Fantasy world!Dick Hill narration was nothing less than brilliant. Especially considering the very large cast of characters. I understand the criticism of the "tone" he used for Briony. I'm sure both he and the audio series Dir. had input into how she was voiced. Yes, it comes across as whiny in many spots...but I believe that this is as intended. Briony is an adolescent girl. As much as experience and setting may have conditioned her, her entire world has come apart in under a year. With the tragedies that transpire in this first book, I feel a bit of hopelessness and despair is warranted, especially given her age.
There is much of "setting the stage" here in the first book. Quite a bit of character exposition and development. Which I felt was fine and needed given the multiple storylines that are progressing and the alien cultures and history in which they reside.
I went in to this thinking it was the beginning of a fairly lengthy Fantasy story, where there is a bit of action and intrigue, this is not the equivalent of an "action film" , it is a story, with a cast of characters that draw you in and whom you begin to know and care about.
I felt it was a fantastic beginning to what "m feeling is going to be a grand and epic adventure.

Would you consider the audio edition of Shadowmarch to be better than the print version?
The audio version brings a new view in relation to reading the books. It seems a different story in some ways and very enjoyable.Who was your favorite character and why?
Hard to choose a favorite character there are so many great characters.What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
This story is one of my favorites and I want each of my favorites told by Michael Cramer and Kate Reading. But, after a couple hours of listening, Dick Hill, completely won me over. He did a masterful job and his breadth of voices and accents were fantastic. Dick Hill did a wonderful job and did this amazing story the justice it deserves.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I love this story. This amazing story is definitely one of my top 10.Any additional comments?
