The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
My partner read this first and said it was really good so I read it too. I really loved it. The characters are so rich and the book is well written seeing it is Weeks first book.

I had trouble putting the book down and several times was reading to 5am in the morning. I am looking foward to reading the other two books.

Synopsis.

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.
