The Annurian Empire is disintegrating. The advantages it used for millennia have fallen to ruin. The ranks of the Kettral have been decimated from within, and the kenta gates, granting instantaneous travel across the vast lands of the empire, can no longer be used. In order to save the empire, one of the surviving Kettral must voyage beyond the edge of the known world through a land that warps and poisons all living things to find the nesting ground of the giant war hawks. Meanwhile, a monk turned con-artist may hold the secret to the kenta gates.

Good book - shame about the narrator

Summary
The perfect killer has no friends. Only targets. For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art. And he is the city’s most accomplished artist, his talents required from alleyway to courtly boudoir. For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he’s grown up in the slums, and learned the hard way 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.

Not Grimdark, but a good start to a series
This is the first book I have listened to from the Author. I knew before I started the book that was could have been classified under the Grimdark genre. However, after reading the book i would say it probably just slipped into this genre.
Yes, there is killing - a while it was graphic, it wasn't overly so
Yes, there is sex - but nothing graphic. Rape is there, but not detailed.
Yes, there is torture - but nothing we haven't read already
Yes, there is a lot of swearing - but that's fairly normal.
The story itself goes at a steady pace. There were times when I got a little confused with what was happening. Maybe this was a downside of the audio version, but there were times when I had to go back a bit to try and work out why we seemed to have skipped time a little.
The main two characters are interesting. They are killers but you are expected to be rooting for them. Life is meaningless, they kill their targets and innocents if needed. I think the body count in this novel is one of the highest in any novels that I have read. You can not go more then a couple of chapters without someone dying.
The beginning of the book is very much setting up the major characters in the book. There is nothing new here - slum kids, bullies, begging to be apprenticed, tragic incident, test. The middle part then explains what a Wetboy is - and the training involved and setting up some plot points for later on. The latter part of the book is the story proper and we see some of the world and politics. While the book does conclude, it is obvious that it's going to be continued within another book.
Some of the world building is a little confusing. There are killers (thugs), assassins and Wetboys. There seem to be many types of magic users. Some magic users can be Wetboys. Some of the titles for these type of people are a little weird. To me a witch is female, but that is not the case here. The term Wetboy is a little daft - why not use assassin - its got more fear to it. Wetboy sounds infantile.
All in all I enjoyed this book. Hopefully the following books will expand on the major characters further and flesh out the world a lot more.
The audiobook was of high quality. While the narrator does vary his voice a little for the characters, it is a little variation. He is not a voice actor. There were some parts where I think it would have benefited from a little longer pause, especially when going from one scene to another.

A good trilogy -if you can cope with the narration
I really enjoyed the Lightbringer series, so embarked on this trilogy enthusiastically. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm was short-lived and I very nearly chucked it all in because of the narration.
The opening chapters of this first book are quite stark and brutal, and I found the narrator's tone (almost a lack of gravitas?) just didn't fit at all. There was little differentiation between the characters' voices, and the timing / breathing was wrong too. However, I was intrigued by the story so persevered. By midway through the third book, I realised I was no longer being irritated by the narrator - I'd simply got used to it.
I'm glad I did persevere. Kylar is a good character, as are so many others. I would suggest that perhaps the writing and plot isn't quite as mature or well-crafted as the Lightbringer series (Wikip. suggests the Way of Shadows was Brent Weeks' first series published?), but it's still a good tale, and good enough for me to listen to all three books in the series back to back, without getting bored or distracted.
Not quite a 5 star series all the way through, although I think books 2 and 3 were better than 1. Worth it if you can cope with the narrator.

Paul Boehmer sounds like a hammer horror villain.
The story is what it is - a good, but not great debut from an author who would go on to be brilliant (read the lightbringer, seriously). There are plenty of places where it could be improved, and plenty of places where it is great Fantasy.
The narration is what let's it down though. Paul boehmer sounds.... creepy. There is no better way to describe him. The combination of flat, drawn out vowels and slow enunciation puts me in mind of someone you'd expect to be backing up Vincent Price.
Listening at 1.25x speeds him up enough that he doesn't sound quite so bad though, so I'd recommend that.

Not a fan of the narrator, but a pretty good book
I'd listened to Assassin's Quest with this narrator, and he nearly ruined it for me. He wasn't as bad in this one. I'd recommend listening to the preview to see whether you like his style.
Enjoyed the story quite a lot. It didn't feel original, with a kid who shows potential learning to become a master, but was a lot of fun. Also, some of the characterisation was at least borderline offensive. I'll probably carry on with the series on paper, but I'm not desperate to.

Terrible narration
A good narrator can make or break an audiobook. When you can't tell if a character is male or female without hearing "he said" or "she said", then you cannot get involved in the story. You should know who people are by the context of their voice or accent, not by the text.
I gave it a solid try and listened to over an hour but couldn't enjoy it as I couldn't tell who was saying what.

Horrible voice actor, enjoyable story
The story is quite an enjoyable one, but the voice acting is poor, with frequent missing pauses making it hard to understand when the context switches, or indistinguishable voices of multiple characters in the same conversation.

Absolutely brilliant!
Any additional comments?
What a brilliant book, one of the best I have listened to. Extremely well written with non-stop action. There are only a few passages which seem to drag a little, but remember this is a 20 hour book. The story and the characters are engaging. The narrator is fantastic. The only problem is this is book 1 of a trilogy and the other 2 books are not on Audible yet. Please Audible get the rest of the series real soon, I can't wait!!

Slowish start, still great
Lowed the trilogy. The only reason I'm giving just 4 stars for the story is because I found the first half of the book a less enjoyable than everything after that. So if you're thinking of dropping this book because of that you're really missing a great story.

This is great! But b
This is not a pure our world book, but not a full fantasy either..
I did this trio in book form when they came out. Loved them with my own voices. But this first has met my hopes.
I love a lot of books, but the street rats to riches is fun :D If you like this one, also look for Michael Wiseharts books. New in the game, good books and likes his fans. But anyway..
You will like the characters, there are not too many like GoT, but not boring either.
If you are a more Tolkien person, you might be a little disappointed. The focus are on the actions of the people, not the lingering smell of the depths of despair of where they roam.
Do the credit! Don’t like it exchange it. But I think you will ;)

Decent Fantasy-Intrigue
If you could sum up The Way of Shadows: Night Angel Trilogy, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?
Complex, Dramatic, Gripping
What did you like best about this story?
The personal development of the characters, and the rather complex wheel-within-wheels-plot
Any additional comments?
While it was a good book, at times I lost track because of all the different characters in the story. The highlights of the book is when it focuses on the main characters.

I tried and failed
Never finished, I tried, but after a slow start only helt up by a good performance I couldn't take the gaping story holes and "clever" plot twists. Just trying too hard.

boehmer..
Boehmer narration made a great book a real drudge. Brent Weeks is a true talent, very interesting twists and turns to his books.
Compared to the lightbringer series, this is simpler, rougher and grittier.

Disappointing
I listened to this book together with my partner, as we're both avid fantasy readers, and had heard good things about The Knight Angel-triology. To be honest listening to the book was a struggle. The characters are weak (the female characters really had us cringing), and the story just didn't manage to feel exciting or engaging, no matter how long we listened. Won't buy the next in the series.
