Tomasino reviewed The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks
Review of 'The Way of Shadows' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Brent Weeks's first book in the Night Angel series was a wonderfully engaging fantasy novel. He obviously comes from the George R. R. Martin school of writing and is thusly unafraid to maim or even kill his main characters. His characters are full and grow beautifully throughout the story, and more than one will surprise you. This is a great, quick read for someone looking for a good fantasy diversion.
Reread: This pass through the book left me with a few misgivings about character voice, some awkward relationship dialogue, and a rather convenient return of a villan that didn't really seem believable. Still, with all that, it's a good book. Read and enjoy.
