For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art-and he is the city's most accomplished artist. For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned 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.

The way of Shadows introduces us the world of Midcyru, and we follow the orphan Azoth and his story being teached the art of being a wetboy by Durzo Blint. It's an interesting world that we dip into and the world building is decent, and while the characters appear a bit one dimensional are there more to them and there is some character growth in this book, especially for Azoth.
