Shadow's Edge (Night Angel Trilogy #2) [NOOK Book]

What a trilogy!

This bookk is one of the best books I have ever read. It excellently follows the first book in the trilogy (way of shadows). The book also sets you up for the last book. For an excellent read that has great magic and superb martial arts and tremendous plot you can not go wrong with Brent Weeks.

Whoop

Great read no doubt

Very Well written

Intricate and sweeping with good character development and protaganists act in thinking ways, but also react from places of deep emotion, in a world that very real with depth, but which the author is very capable of depicting without creating complexity and confusion.

Wow!

Holy crap, this guy can write. Every page is riveting, and there's not a wasted word. As good as volume 1, but totally different and refreshing.

Awsome

These books draw you in and beforr you know it hours have passed and your ready for the next one!! Great read!!

Too many f*bombs

Honestly, as an adult, I do hear the f*word, even in regular conversation with my colleagues. This book has interesting characters, and some got raped, one or two are gay. But, really do we need to see the f*word so often?

If this doesn't bother you, then the you'll probably enjoy it. The characters are well developed, and the pace of the action quite good. It was easy enough to get engrossed in the multiple story-lines.

Pretty Good(:

This book was very good. It seemed like they shouldn't of made two different books, it should of been a big huge book. On the other hand this was a good book if you read the first book. I give this a 9.5/10

Always good to read anytime

I think this was an interesting part of the book. It had its twists and turns and some people backstabbed certain people(laugh). I believe that some things were confusing and and some people will be mad when they figure those certain things out(chuckle). I still love the book and would still recommend this book to anyone who has read the first, cuz you can't really read the second without reading the first, first.

Amazing series

This book was hard to put down. The characters are powerful and the plot keeps you coming back for more. Can not wait to start the thrid book in the series

Stop and Go!

The second book of the Night Angel trilogy starts a bit slow, but is worth the wait. There is much more learned here about the world and characters that surround Kylar Stern. A dizzying number of magical and political plotlines also begin to twist and turn, keeping the reader on the edgiest of edges. A fantastic read, seamless and just as well written as "Way of Shadows".

Brilliant series!

All 3 books were first class. Great character development, good mix of plot, action, and writing style. I found the books hard to put down and am looking forward to what Brent Weeks comes up with next.

The first book was great, avoid this one

Mr. Weeks did a great job with the first book in this trilogy, but after reading the first 100 pages of this novel I've had to walk away in disgust. The completely idiotic treatment of morals and the painful reading it makes as the main character tries to become a "better" man is truly horrific. It breaks the story, it breaks the character, and makes for an annoyingly bad plot. Yes, none of the characters are believable as real people, but the level of stupidity bestowed upon Kylar and Elene as a couple is enough for me to throw my hands up in disgust at both their and the author's ineptitude. Morality is a hazy subject at best and it definitely deserves better treatment than the hack job that Mr. Weeks is trying to give it in this book. Maybe this book gets better and recaptures the magic of The Way of Shadows, but it won't be for me to find out. If you don't mind a hit you over the head, poorly written treatment of morality, or characters acting so stupid you want to throw the book against the wall, then by all means pick up this book. Whatever you do, make sure and read the first one, its well worth your money.

A Good Sequel and Mid-Point

Picking up right where Way of Shadows leaves off, Shadow's Edge is a good sequel and excellent mid-point leading into Beyond the Shadows. Further building the characters you've come to love and building a plot that will all come to fruition in Beyond the Shadows.

The plot is so well thought-out and contructed, it leaves you wondering how everyone involved will fall into place. However, it is rather predictable, but it is still engaging and entertaining. With plenty of action, sex, and violence, Shadow's Edge definitely the "Empire Strikes Back" of the Night Angel Trilogy.

Shadow's Edge

The second book was great just like the first one. The third one is well written also. The only bad thing about the second one was in the back of your mind you know that it is a trilogy, so you know that the fun will end way to soon. Hopefully Brent can figure out a way to keep writting in this world that he created. A great read to say the least.

The second in the Night Angel's Trilogy doesn't dissapoint

The Godking's coup was successful, and with the death of his master and his best friend, Kylar has rejected the assassin's life. He's starting over in a new city, with new friends, and a new-peaceful-profession.
*
But then Kylar learns Logan (his best friend and the only one who can challenge the Godking's rule as King) might be alive, but in need of rescue, he has to make a choice. Will he sit by and live the peaceful life he always wanted with the woman he loves, or will he risk it all for the better of the kingdom by taking on the ultimate hit?
*
I don't recommend this series for anyone under 12.

Great Book

It's a great book though I wouldn't have kids under 12 read it.

Engaging

I was drawn to this series a few months ago, the cover art grabbed my attention. I have since read the entire series. From the first page to the last page, it never lets up. it just grips you and never lets go. A dark fantasy trilogy, full of wonderfull, unique characters. I enjoyed the places, people, and things this series had to offer. Not since George Martins "A Song Of Fire and Ice" and Raymond Feist "World of Midkemia books",,,Have I been so impressed by a trilogy. I look foreward to reading more from this author. I have read that brent Weeks plans to return to the story down the road. And that my friends is what im looking foreward to....ENJOY

original yet classic

For those who like the "fantasy" style, that series from Brent Weeks is pretty original. The style and plot are somewhat classic, but it works just fine and the stories unfold at a good rythm with good moments and characters are actually very interesting with a real personnality.

very well written

one of the best series i have ever read

Great

I was a little confused by the book at first because idk that it was the 2nd not th 1st but it gave so much pre sight from the first i could easily understand... But this was one of the best book i've read in a while
