![]() It’s a strange phenomenon that acclaimed successes from other forms of writing frequently have difficulty adapting to comics, but that’s not the case for Schwab, who’s confident and concise. It’s the challenge Maxim needs to cement his reputation and redeem himself in the eyes of the King. She’s mastered illegal Bone Magic and has already seen off one attempt by the King’s soldiers to deal with her. An ability to manipulate steel and his fighting skills will determine his survival.Īs if the regular dangers of a near lawless town aren’t enough to contend with, Maxim’s arrival coincides with pirate queen Arisa Rasora docking at the port. It opens with him exiled to the dangerous coastal city of Verose by his father King Nokil. Schwab felt exploring him in the novels would take space needed to develop other members of her cast, so with his story played out, a graphic novel is the ideal venue to explore his past. Maxim Maresh, the Steel Prince, eventually the King of Arnes, was an integral, but secondary character in Shades of Magic. Schwab’s immensely popular Shades of Magic series is surely exciting news for fantasy fans, and even better is that Schwab isn’t turning the writing over to someone else. ![]() Review by Frank Plowright Spoilers in reviewĪ series of graphic novels exploring the worlds and situations from V. ![]()
