WHAT'S NAT DOING IN SHAKESPEARE'S TIME?Only in the world of the theater can Nat Field find an escape from the tragedies that have shadowed his young life. So he is thrilled when he is chosen to join an American drama troupe traveling to London to perform "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a new replica of the famous Globe theater. The writing in this one is once again sublime. There is an excellent origin story of one of the main characters that adds much to the story. Matthew Corbett stays inquisitive as ever, always on the lookout for mysteries to be solved even if it means getting in people’s way. "It was his belief that bereft of curiosity, the mind died, and this was a factor that had kept him inquiring even when the inquiries were met with hostility and even violence; it was simply a fact of life." Cooper wrote her first book for young readers in response to a publishing house competition; "Over Sea, Under Stone" would later form the basis for her critically acclaimed five-book fantasy sequence, "The Dark Is Rising." The fourth book in the series, "The Grey King," won the Newbery Medal in 1976. By that time, Susan Cooper had been living in America for 13 years, having moved to marry her first husband, an American professor, and was stepmother to three children and the mother of two. Kai and Nya are forced to deal with the Fire Dragon by themselves. Meanwhile, Cole, Zane and Jay are still in the Forest of Tranquility, tied up and hung on a tree by the Skulkin.)

Memory is the king of shadows,” DeKay repeated. “You being a problem-solver for the Herrald Agency ... you should know. How two people – three, four, a score of them – can witness the same moment yet have vastly different memories of it, thus throwing shadows over the absolute truth.” Susan Cooper is a genius writer who describes things such as smell, noise, feeling, tastes so richly, it made me feel like I was in the scene with Nat. (Although, sometimes there are things that I don’t want to imagine...) There are lots of scenes that are difficult to imagine in this book because she writes about an old period but the letters make me see the scene, when I close my eyes. It wasn't torture, but it also wasn't bliss. I never shook with excitement, got butterflies in my stomach and it definitely wasn't a topic I would discuss with friends. Wu jumps on top of the Fire Dragon's head as it reaches out of the lava. It roars angrily, making Nya scream. It seals the trio inside the temple so that they would not escape.) In the Chorus’ first speech in Henry V he apologizes for the mere actors, the “unraised spirits,” that have dared to tell such an important story. He goes on to argue that perhaps these “ciphers” can be part of an epic story just as the zeros that follow a one can make up a million.

KING OF SHADOWS | Kirkus Reviews

The King of Shadows in excellent, although maybe not quite what you expected if you are following this series. The Matthew Corbett series always keeps you guessing what will happen next, McCammon is not afraid to make bold decisions that impact some of the key characters. Introducing along the way new mysteries to be solved and new interesting criminals to be bested. And so it is with this one.The ending sets up the possibility for the final entry in this amazing world and I'm starting to feel deep sadness already at the thought of it ending. George Lakoff, Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things: What Categories Reveal About the Mind (Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press), 267. While Nathan is staying at Shakespeare’s house, a lord visits Shakespeare and tries to convince him to cancel the play. Shakespeare refuses, and the lord leaves. The playwright confides to Nathan that Queen Elizabeth is planning to attend the production in secret. Because the Queen just had the popular Earl of Essex executed, the political climate is tense and her safety is in danger. At a rehearsal, Roper chokes on an apple and Nathan saves his life by performing the Heimlich Maneuver, which had not yet been invented in Shakespeare’s day. The other actors begin to look on Nathan with suspicion after the incident, believing him to be a witch. Shakespeare gives Nathan a poem about the power of love, and tells Nathan that his father did love him, despite his act of suicide. Tad visa knyga tarsi koks side quest‘as, iš esmės paliekantis Matthew tame pačiame istorijos taške, kuriame jis buvo knygos pradžioje. Nemažą dalį užima ir atskleistos dviejų antagonistų priešistorės.

Chances like this don't come around very often and I was frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog with the excitement of being able to read the latest book In this amazing series on release day. I now know what it feels like to be one of those Harry Potter book nerds queuing outside the bookstore and I don't care one bit. It seems like I've been waiting a lifetime for this opportunity.

King of Shadows is another immense achievement from one the most skilled and talented authors in the business. Nat's new life is full of excitement, danger, and the passionate friendship that he has longed for since the tragic death of his parents.

While I share Oatley’s understanding of fiction as productive, I am unconvinced by the strong simulation claim that readers or spectators simulate the emotional experience of the characters.

The company is nervous as it is believed that Queen Elizabeth I herself may come to see the play. But the big day arrives and all goes well. Nat, a boy from 1999, meets Queen Elizabeth. Keith Oatley, “Simulation of Substance and Shadow: Inner Emotions and Outer Behavior in Shakespeare’s Psychology of Character,” College Literature 33.1 (Winter 2006), 15–33, esp. 29-30. Maybe it was bound to happen at some point. Maybe it was too much to hold out hope that McCammon could maintain the high quality that I’ve come to expect from the wonderful Matthew Corbett series, even with it being eight books deep at this point. Well here it is, this book marks the dip in quality.The hardest part of reviewing this novel is going to be not spoiling anything as I'm known to get a little over excited when discussing this series.
