Shadow's Edge, Beyond The Shadows


Shadow's Edge, Beyond The Shadows
Brent Weeks
11/10

I'm really sorry:(

I rated the first book in this series as 10/10 and consequentially said that it was a book that could not be better. However after reading the other two whilst I was away on camp I realised no matter what I thought it went above and beyond anything I could have expected. Therefore to say that these books are better than the first I have to rate the book as 11/10. It's so good,It's off the scale!

The biggest thing that struck me in these two books were the plot twists. A number of things are revealed or changed in the books and they left me reeling. Yes i know that reviews say that all the time "Oh, the plot kept me guessing. It was full of surprises...Yeah, whatever. This time I'm serious. you read that last line at the end of the chapter and then you just sit there going o.O

Everything else I could say pales in comparison to this but there are a heap of other things that make the story (excuse the cliche) unputdownable. if your looking for good long series to read then definitely go out and buy the Night Angel Trilogy and then buy another copy and give it to your friend as an early Christmas present.
The books are easily worth sitting in your tent and being treated like an introverted bookworm for(side effect may include unpegged tents and name calling of the highest level)

But it's totally worth it:D
