The Penitent Assassin eBook Shawn Wickersheim

Is it a tale of heartfelt perseverance, fortitude and human will? Does it tackle slavery in forms one might have not thought of? Does it exude a penchant for family values and keeping one’s word and honor intact? Maybe but in reality it is a story about one spectacular BAMF!!

The story of Mallor starts at a 200 km/hour pace and doesn't slow with twist, turns and reveals along with “oh no you din’it” again and again before you get to the end. I found myself purposefully rationing my reading just so the story would last and last. The action and story line converges from a few aspects but the reader is primarily following Mallor through his path of revenge, malice and total disdain for a wrong to his people. Mallor takes nothing really personally or is that because after years of revenge he is a consummate sociopath. Probably but there are hints that his soul is not completely tarnished and beyond redemption. Mallor does ask for forgiveness quite a bit but is one searching for forgiveness if he ask it just before he slams a sword into your gut? Mmmmmm probably not, I am thinking.

Mr. Wickersheim’s prose is polished with a flow that is effortless to read and understand. Reveals do not come lightly and many are left to be pondered for quite some time as the story unfolds. This allows for the tension and understanding that any situation Mallor finds himself in is not only going to get worse but he will suffer great in trying to move past it. The MC in any novel is tantamount but I found in the Penitent Assassin the supporting characters to be full and rich not only in the parts they played but the time and development that Mr. Wickersheim put in to them. All and all I really enjoyed this book and Mr. Wickersheim’s writing, so much that I just started The Rush of Betrayal: Deception. Which is another book by Mr. Wickersheim and 10% in I am on the edge of my seat rationing my reading once again.

The Penitent Assassin eBook Shawn Wickersheim Reviews

I read a sample of The Penitent Assassin on and Wickersheim drew me in from the first paragraph. I enjoyed his writing style and couldn't wait to read the rest of the book.

Let me warn you now, this book is a dark fantasy. Within minutes, you'll sense this in the writing. Well, you'll see it in the scenes too. Wickersheim can be quite descriptive. We have an ongoing joke about the rose petal scene, but you'll have to read his book to find out what we're talking about.

These descriptions drew me in. You can almost feel the rain pounding on your shoulders, the musty and smoke-filled air, the dreary and slouch-shouldered citizens trudging by. I love it!

The magic system is unique. I can't describe it without telling you part of the story, but it's interesting. Where it comes from, how it's used, who can use it. I do need to point out that magic is not the basis of this story. While a big part, you won't see magicians running around spitting fireballs at each other.

The pacing was great, and I mean GREAT! I found myself wondering how the heck Mallor (the main character) could find any more trouble to get himself into. Just when Wickersheim lets you think it's time for a break, he slaps you in the face and says, "Wake up! This baby is just getting started!"

And the twist... Yes, the twist. I don't know why it threw me for such a loop. Probably because I'm usually better at figuring these things out. When I read the twist, I stopped, turned off my kindle and stared at the wall for five minutes. I ran over the previous scenes in my head to see if it fit. It did.

While I haven't read tons of Indie author books, I've read my share over the past year. This is the first Indie book I've given five stars. Not that I didn't enjoy the others. Wickersheim brought his story to life. On top of that, his book is a quality and polished product. I suggest The Penitent Assassin to any lover of urban or dark fantasy.

I asked Shawn if he planned to write a sequel. His response was that it's possible, but he's working on something a little less dark that he hopes to have out this year. So keep your eyes sharp!
I finished this book a couple of days ago (because once I started reading it, I couldn't stop so I finished the book within a day) but I've been pondering exactly how to write an organized review of this book without it being ten pages long.

To begin with, I really enjoyed all the characters. Wickersheim does a great job of giving his characters plenty of depth and personality. The main character had the perfect balance of good decision making and bad decision making. I felt as though he were a truly real and believable character.

The plot is excellently written. However I did get confused multiple times throughout the story. I was not prepared for as many twists and turns as there were. I didn't expect any of them. But all of my questions were answered by the end of the book, so I don't feel that any of the twists or my confusion detracted from the story line. But I do feel that I need to read it again to fully grasp every detail that the author included.

I appreciated all of the descriptive details included. I could definitely visualize the story as it played out, which makes a book great in my opinion.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and plan on reading the rest of Wickersheim's work. I highly recommend this author.
