4 1/2 stars. Gavin Guile is losing his powers. This is happening at a particularly bad time in his life. He is trying to prevent the seven satrapies from going to war. The Color Prince continually causes him problems. The old gods are reemerging, and they’re not easy to stop. On top of all of tha...
The first half was engaging, exciting, interesting etc. Then it appears the author completely lost his focus. He went on long unrelated tangents with characters musing on random thoughts that had nothing to do with the current plot point - usually an action sequence. These tangents went on so lon...
It was a nice addition to the Nightangel Trilogy about one of the coolest characters.I knew it was short, because it's a novelle, but at some points it felt a bit rushed. Maybe this was also caused by the several layers of time frames between which Weeks jumped rapidly. It was quite hard to recon...
I don't quite know what to think about this book, because while it was GOOD, I never really fell for it.

This is the series that made me give fantasy another chance, and it's this series along with, "The Name of th...
Read the Night Angel Trilogy first!This was a decently fun ride. Brent Weeks is a master of his craft, but this is by far my least favorite....but kind of hard to compare to a full novel. There are just some areas that I thought were a little too simple? The pace just wasn't there for me, but ...
One of my friends recommended this book to me after he had read the first book. I began reading it and I am not going to lie, the first few chapters were pretty rough to get through due to the graphic nature and depiction of youth gangs in a corrupt and incredible impoverished setting. That being...
As they approached Black Barrow, the evergreen forest that carpeted the foothills ended. Feir hunkered down in his coat against the deep autumn chill and climbed a low rise. The sight took his breath away. No one had lived in Black Barrow for seven hundred years. The land should have been long ov...
Kylar said to Capricia when he returned to the ringery. “Hello,” she said, surprised. She was alone, closing up the shop. “The ass is back.” He grimaced. “Sorry about …before.” “What?” she said. “No, you were fine. I understa...
