The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks



During the Christmas holiday I read the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. These books are fantasy-based novels. The book speaks of many of today’s life horrors like slavery, rape and murder. These horrors happen in the back alleys of a town called Cenaria. On the other side of town, live the rich. The author tries to surpass a message so that the reader can realise some of the problems of today’s life. Apart from that the book is about wetboys (who are paid assassins). The book follows a character that grows-up in the back alleys of Cenaria and finds his path to becoming a wetboy. The main character is known as Kylar and the reader follows his life and adventures, which are thrilling.
 The three books are very well written with compelling vocabulary and a fantastic plot. The author’s idol is George R. R. Martin, so Brent follows George’s style in a perhaps like adult-like way. Meaning that Brent Weeks’ books are about 600-700 pages with a medium sized writing as for George R. R. Martin writes 800-1000 pages in small writing. However GRRM is very well known thanks to Game of Thrones and BW’s Night Angel trilogy is less well known but I would still thoroughly recommend it. 

 This is the first book of the series called The Way of Shadows and as said in the title, this is when Kylar learns to become a wetboy. 

This is book 2, called Shadows Edge and we follow Kylar through a great adventure. 

This is book 3 called Beyond The Shadows.
