    Synopsis

    For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art-and he is the city's most accomplished artist.

    For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned to judge people quickly - and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint.

    But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics - and cultivate a flair for death.

    HEY MIKEY! I Think He Likes IT!!by Blaquestarr

    June 29, 2009: Didn't expect much when I bought this title based on the other reviews on the B&N site, but the cover and premise looked interesting. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. :) A bit graphic in nature towards cruelty to children (really, it's the only emotional part of the book that gets me), but I cared about these characters and wanted to read the next one and the next one.

    Writing style is a bit funky, but it's what makes it unique and plays out like the character's actual thoughts. Not a seemless transition, but I tend to like writers to write out of the ordinary vernacular of proper English.

    Setting is believable, and since this is a set up or an introduction story to the trilogy, a lot more character develeopment than actual action. But I loved it, and would recommend it. ^_^

    June 26, 2009: The Way of Shadows is a truly amazing book. It allowed me to leave the world in which I live and submerse myself into a dark word that is both frightening and astonishing. Brent Weeks did an amazing job from start to finish. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good fiction. To Mr. Brent Weeks - I truly enjoyed reading this book and I was sad when the book was over because I wanted to know more so, I am very exited to read the next one, and you were right it was a hell of a ride.
