3.5 stars I think.. I am going to think about it a bit. I am lost at how I feel about this book. At times I loved it and thought it was awesome but at times I was completely lost and I had no idea what was happening. I found that the narrative changes confusing at times and it made the story a littl...
I tried to like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, tried but couldn't help but feel the story was being dragged out far too much. This series, by Brent Weeks, had been calling to me from the bookstore shelves. Every other book in the fantasy section had all black and red covers, usually with a dr...
I don't often hand out 1-star ratings, but this book really deserves it.What I was expecting:Something along the line of Glen Cook's Black Company trilogy.What I got:A juvenile story that's trying really hard (and failing) to be contemporary grown-up fantasy.A reviewer on here somewhere said it's a ...
OK... So, I'm officially calling it quits with this one. I've had this book on Mount TBR for so long, and I've heard so many awesome things about it, but when I finally tried to read it...

I agree with many of the more in-depth reviews. Heavily Martin influenced, but missing the grace to move as smoothly through the different kingdoms. Also, the author has a strong obsession with buggering.Interesting start to a trilogy.
I liked the book overall and became immersed in the world, but felt the book was a touch too long. There were so many plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub-plots, that it was a chore at some points to remember just who all the characters were and why we were supposed to care about them. And I wasn't a fan...
Likeable, really, but something made this a hard book to delve into and get lost in the story. Could be the gritty scrabble of life in the mud of the Warrens. Could be that while character building was excellent, the world outside the Warrens lacks details, even as we meet the characters living the...
One of the most badass books I've ever read. And strangely, fewer fight scenes than one might expect from a book about a bunch of assassins. Set in an alternate world, the characters are what makes this book so amazing, along with the realistic action.
