“The way of shadows”

“The way of shadows” by Brent Weeks is a story based on a small boy who is a “street rat” and has a very tough life. Being an orphan this boy Azoth seeks help between him and his friends from the guild. But upon having the meanest leader around he starts searching for the legendary assassin Durzo blint, at first, blint doesn’t want to teach him or take him as an apprentice. But then he reframes his thoughts and assigns azoth with a task, which would change his life forever. This task was to kill the guild leader and bring Durzo, his ear… the training was harsh for the young trainee but with lots of hard work and dedication he was able to turn into a great wetboy (assassin) his name was no loner azoth, but now he as renamed by his master to be Kylar.
This book is probably one of the best ones I’ve read in a long time. being both entertaining and funny, this book is full of action and romance being based on a place relatively a realm very much alike in “the lord of the rings” this story brings a lot of suspense. Although this is only book number one there is a full trilogy of the “night angel”. I enjoyed this story even more because of the whole imagination of Brent Weeks describing the protagonist of the book.
In this thrilling story kylar starts becoming one of the best assasins in the realm, being the apprentice of durzo Blint wasn’t an easy task for the boy because of Blints never ending “surprise attacks”. Throught the book you never know if Durzo is going to end up killing the boy because of Blint’s problems with the world, but he did promise kylar that if he didn’t do what his master ordered him he would be killed…
