Øyvind reviewed Silverblood Promise by Logan, James (The Last Legacy, #1)
A good debut novel
4 stars
We follow Lukan Gardova on his trip to figure out what his father last message to him means. The story is interesting enough and it definitely has a few twists and turns along the way. The world building seems to be really good, however I wish that we had gotten to experience the city of Saphrona a bit more in the book. The history of the world is interesting and I really hope that we get to explore it even further in the future books in the series. There is not that much character growth in this book, however considering the time frame of the story it's not necessary something to hold against the book.
If you like books like The Lies of Locke Lamora then you'll probably enjoy this book as well. If you're more of a big epic fantasy kind of person then it might not be the …

Øyvind reviewed Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks (Night Angel Trilogy)
The final book in the original Night Angel trilogy
4 stars
Beyond the shadows ends all of the ongoing story arcs, and it even sneakily puts in a jumping of point for the next series set in the same world. There's some world building mostly in the part of learning a bit more of the history of the world, and there is a fair bit of character growth as well. It's definitely a fun read although reading the previous two books is kind of a must, but that should not be surprising as this is the third book in a trilogy.

Øyvind reviewed Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks
The second book in the Night Angel trilogy
4 stars
The second book of a trilogy sometimes suffers with primarily being a setup for the final book, this book however does not suffer that fate. That's not to say that there are certain plot lines that's left unfinished for the third book though. The story continues in it's good pacing and we get to know more about the world and new places in it. There characters evolve based on their experiences and all in all it's a well written and fun story.

Øyvind reviewed The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks (Night Angel Trilogy)
The origin story of Night Angel
5 stars
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.

An interesting return to the world of Midcyru
4 stars
This book has a totally different feel to the original Night Angel trilogy. It both works and throws me of it some times. The book starts fairly shortly after Beyond the Shadows and it one of it's main focuses is how the events from the end of the primary saga has changed the characters and the world. We get a fair bit of world building as we visit new places in the world and there are interesting character developments as well for the main characters of the book. If you like the original series then this is worth a read. You should be fine with having this as your first book into Midcyru since this is the first book in a new series, however you'll probably miss out on quite a few details.
