![]() Moving on to story, this book continues with those characters who didn't follow Croaker. He certainly breathed life into Case, a formerly unimportant and undeveloped side-character-now the new first person perspective into the story (though not really that important to it). Most of the time however, he was very pleasant to listen to. A few times I actually recoiled from the harshness of certain characters/lines. But then his performance could be very uneven. He has a very comforting southern kind of charm that really puts you at ease. My brother and I both kept rotating between loving and hating him. Jonathan Davis has a MUCH different feel. So it just makes sense! Anyway! Review! First off, the narrator has changed! Which sucks but is also okay, since Croaker isn't actually in this book at all. ![]() Particularly because Shadow Games may leave you very much needing to know what happens next! Although both Shadow Games and The Silver Spike take place shortly after the events of The White Rose, only The Silver Spike is actually concerned with those events. ![]() After finishing both this and Shadow Games, I can definitely agree that this should probably be read first. ![]() I actually listened to this one first based on some recommendations elsewhere online.

Returning to England, Collins attended Cole's boarding school, and completed his education in 1841, after which he was apprenticed to the tea merchants Antrobus & Co. ![]() However, there is still much to be discovered about this superstar of Victorian fiction.īorn in Marylebone, London in 1824, Collins' family enrolled him at the Maida Hill Academy in 1835, but then took him to France and Italy with them between 18. He is studied widely new film, television, and radio versions of some of his books have been made and all of his letters have been published. Most of his books are in print, and all are now in e-text. Now, Collins is being given more critical and popular attention than he has received for 50 years. But after his death, his reputation declined as Dickens' bloomed. A close friend of Charles Dickens from their meeting in March 1851 until Dickens' death in June 1870, William Wilkie Collins was one of the best known, best loved, and, for a time, best paid of Victorian fiction writers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s an entire history of superheroes and how these kinds of characters developed in art throughout history.
