Durzo gazed into the frothy brown ale as if it held answers. It didn't, and he had a choice to make. The usual forced gaiety of the brothel swirled around him, but nobody male or female bothered him. Perhaps it was Retribution unsheathed on the table in front of him. Perhaps it was merely the look on his face. (From book)

I enjoyed the book and liked some of the characters. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. Azoth/Kyler was a nothing, a low-life that was in a bad situation along with many other kids. But Azoth didn't want that life any more. He wanted to be an assassin like Durzo Blint. And Durzo didn't take apprentices, but this time he did, he changed Azoth into Kyler Stern. He tried to make him a strong killing machine with no heart. He showed him how to poison, how to fight, how to use magic... but.. Kyler still had a heart.

Kyler did the one thing Durzo told him never to do. Do. Not. Fall. In. Love. It will get you killed. Durzo pretty much knew what he was talking about in this book. But alas, Kyler can not help falling in love with the sweet Elene, who happened to be someone from his past.

It turns out that Durzo happened to love after all, and most things he told Kyler always came to pass, if he told the truth that is.

"I'll miss you. You're the closest to family I'll ever have. I'm sorry I brought you into this life. Momma K and I did everything we could to make you a wetboy. I suppose it's to your credit that we failed. You mean more to me than I ever thought another person could." (from book)

Kyler blinked back tears. There was no way he could kill the man who'd written this. Durzo Blint was more than his master; he was his father. (from book)

Durzo and Momma K (who runs a brothel) took Kyler out of a bad situation and tried to teach him book learning and how to kill. Seems kinda funny when it's read in that context, but that's how it is. Momma K tried to help a lot of kids as much as she could. I don't like the fact they called assassins wetboys, it sounds just weird to me, but I digress.

I was really shocked at some of the things at the end. You just never know what you will find out and why people hold things back until they die.

The Way of Shadows The Night Angel Trilogy Book 1 Brent Weeks 9780316033671 Books Reviews

I am halfway through the 3rd and final book. Obviously I think they are worth reading. The 1st book left me lost quite a bit of the time because he brings in so many characters. But I just let that slide and kept reading. Most of them just faded away. And the book was definitely good enough for me to buy the 2nd. That one was great! The last book has some down parts but is already getting better and I am sure it will be very good. Full disclosure I am not all that into the machinations of magic and at times am bored with it. But I think he is great in character development and in dialogue and story. And he adds insightful comments through his characters often.
Absolutely loved this book, a great adventure, and characters are great. Always loved a book about redemption and I hope Kyler is redeemed in the end. Can't wait to read the next book. It really kept my attention thru the end. I read a lot and he really has to be good to keep me until the end. This one did.
My husband needed a book to read for our three week trip we were taking. He read this in 3-4 days (over 600pgs). Then I read it and understood why it only took him a few days. It is one of the best books we have read in a long time. We had to buy the second one while still on our trip because we had to know what happened next! Rather graphic in the violence, but not more than he needed to be. I appreciated the vagueness he gave regarding sexual things, because I didn't need to know everything. He gives just enough for you to understand what is going on, and then lets you elaborate on your own. There are definitely times when he goes into detail, but again, I don't feel like it's too much. He is an excellent writer. We are almost through with the second one! Definitely recommend.
First off let me say, Brent Weeks has probably my favorite style of writing. It just entrances you from the beginning and does not let go. Not to mention the way each character and setting is painted and depicted just makes the story come alive and makes you honestly feel you are in Midcryu(the continent in which the bulk of the story takes place).

You will most likely hear this in a majority of the other reviews you read(good and bad), at least I did, and that is one of the beginning scenes. I will not spoil it for you, but even with all the warnings in the reviews, it caught me a bit off guard. I am not saying that scene was bad, in fact it contributed to the story in making a really good villain to focus on and help enhance the main character's personality and determination, but you should really watch out for that scene, in my opinion.

The book, and series, is extremely gory, but instead of that element overpowering the story, it compliments the storyline extremely well and makes the characters and plot stand out from its competitors.
First off, I have to admit that I made a lot of vocal complaints with this entire series as I made myself read them all. It was something I just had to make myself do, despite the times I had tried and failed in the past. Now then, with that said, I have to also admit that I am beyond glad I made myself do it and ultimately, that I let my friends's suggestions help me to decide to do it to begin with. This series as a whole is absolutely and utterly fantastic - it presents you with an entire world and a full cast of characters to love or hate, but it distinctively shows you why you should do just that each and every time. And though the politics and army talk really strained me and my attention at times, as those are not my usual type of interests when fictional, "assassin"-themed books are concerned, it again really helps build the world up around you and gives you the best feeling from all perspectives. The series as a whole is worth reading for anyone interested in fictional work and fully developed characters/plot points, and as a side note as well, the version of each book is also very well laid out and another huge plus for them.
