This was one of my "listen on the drive to work" reads. I just haven't had the time lately to do any other kind of reading! I liked it enough to move onto the next book in the series. I don't know if "listening" instead of reading the book changed the experience for me but it felt like a book tha...

On hindsight I should have read The Way of Shadows more carefully because I'm really not sure how I feel about it. Although I wasn't expecting Lightbringer standards, I didn't think I'd find the storyline unclear or that I'd be confused. And I don't know if my confusion was from laziness due to my p...

This is the story of a young boy who discards his old life to become a not-so heartless assassin (aka wetboy), apprenticed to a heartless master assassin who eventually reveals that he was once like the young boy and more, but then love happened etc, mysterious past, etc., and finally, the inevitabl...

The Way of Shadows is one of those novels that could leave you giddy from turning page after page. It certainly did for me. Azoth/ Kylar was an interesting character who developed nicely over the course of the book, and some of the plot twists were wonderful. I loved watching the characters grow up ...

In "The Way of the Shadow" we are introduced to the two primary characters of the Night Angel series by Brent Weeks; Azoth and Durzo. Durzo is a wetbot, sort of like an assassin but better because wetboys have the use of the Talent (magic). Azoth is a young boy without much hope in his life. He has ...

Guess what? This book was good, it could of been better, it could of been worse if I let it. This first book in The Night Angel trilogy introduces you to a new interesting world. I cant say there is too much in the way of world or character building. The only characters who we really learn about are...

I really enjoyed this book. It is a while since I've read something I haven't wanted to put down and this book certainly delivered. The main character Kylar / Azoth was a fascinating character to read about. There were unexpected deaths - which I love. I think Weeks has taken a leaf out of George R....

Better than I expected. When the book started and I was immediately introduced to its young protagonist, I thought with dismay this was going to be yet another series about a smart alecky impudent kid. The Black Prism, which is another book I've read by Brent Weeks left a bad taste in my mouth becau...
