About this listen
A LEGENDARY ASSASSIN.
AN IMPOSSIBLE HEIST.
THE WAY OF SHADOWS CALLS ONCE MORE.
'One of the best examples of modern fantasy that I've read' Fantasy Faction
New York Times bestselling author Brent Weeks delivers a modern masterpiece of epic fantasy.
After the war that cost him so much, Kylar Stern is broken and alone. He' s determined not to kill again. But Kylar's best - and maybe only - friend, High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan's new kingdom and his twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artefact that was unearthed during the war.
Adversaries both old and new are on the hunt for this relic, but if Kylar does the job right, he won't need to kill at all. This isn't an assassination - it's a heist. But some jobs are too hard for an easy conscience, and some enemies are so powerful the only answer lies in the shadows.

I have wanted a sequel to The Night Angel series for sooooo long, it was one of the first fantasy series I read that majorly got me into reading and it will always hold a special place in my heart. This series made me fall in love with actual grimdark characters, cool magic systems and dark/gritty fantasy worlds. Instead of the archetypal morally grey characters who are in fat not morally grey but saints just calling them selves morally grey. Night Angel has never shied away from characters having to get their hands dirty and pay for it later.
The talent remains one of my top 3 magic systems out of all fantasy series I have ever read- just to be clear, out of all the fantasy books I have ever read....and I have read.... a lot of fantasy. It was great to see it expanded upon and to explore some of the male magic schools instead of just the chantry too.
This book is far different to any other Night Angel book, not just the fact that it's near twice as long as the others but it revolves around a magical oceans 11 themed heist. Where Kylar and his skills are pushed to the brink and beyond...then beyond even that. We are introduced to some great characters and reintroduced to some even better familiar characters. However the locations we visit are fascinating peek into the rest of Midcyru.
The only complaints I have about this book is that there are a few areas where the story drags on and becomes repetitive. I swear, a 'certain character', whilst on the run gets into an altercation after every corner he takes for at least a hundred pages.. fight, hide, fight hide etc. As well as Brent Weeks writes suspense and action it does get repetitive.
As per usual with one of Brent Weeks' books I was stressed out of my mind reading this but the ending of this book is.... infuriating. I have always hated cliff hangers but I cannot stand a certain self inflicted sabotaging decision made in the last 2-3 chapters and it makes me question where the story is going.
