"In the Shadow of the Throne" is an isekai story, in which the protagonist Jordan, finds himself in another world, instead of the museum where he is supposed to be. I really did like this story. I love when stories do the "Hero's Journey" storytelling trope, it never gets old. The fantasy world Jordan wanders into is so fascinating and I wish I got to learn more. Sadly, the story doesn't go too in-depth with any of the characters and their motivations. It also doesn't go too in-depth with the world the protagonist is in. I feel like it hops from scene to scene a little too fast, and doesn't take the time to linger as it should. This book is rather short, and the plot is quickly paced. Almost too quickly for my personal liking. The story feels like it was meant to be longer; a multiple volume series perhaps, but got smooshed down into a single, short book. I wish was it was longer, that was so much more that could be explored in the world of this story! The art itself is fantastic and looks lovely. I was certainly be looking for more books the artist has done after this. Again, I really did like this story. I just wish there was more, but don't we all say that about the stories we like?
