Review:The story slowly proceeds from where book 1 ended. Written in the same style, a bit more is happening. If you like book 1, you like book 2.

I do hope the protagonist starts using his brain a bit. He keeps talking about attacks from the sea, so why does he stick around at the coast? And for aliens not caring about his fate and worried about the impact his presence will have on the culture and technology, he happened to land in the exact right spot... Read more

Review:Really well done! I liked this one oh so much better then "Tongues of Serpents" - it had a quick pace, and time flew as I read it on buses and trains while commuting. I love books like this! But she is not done yet, there are clearly more books to come, as the overarching story of the war is not yet concluded. I am looking forward to more! Read more

Review:I am leading a discussion of The Paris Wife written from the point of view of Hadley, Hemingway's wife during the 20's so I thought reading A Movable Feast would make the period and story more interesting. Both books are really good but A Movable Feast brings Paris alive with the sights, sounds and relationships that Hemingway had with his friends. There is little of Hadley in the book but with a few words you know how Hemingway felt about his first wife. Read more

Review:Brandon Sanderson suggested this book to his followers, and by taking his advice I gave it a go. The book is easy to read and really creates a great world in your head that will keep growing and become more detailed throughout the sequel. Do yourself a favor and give it a read Read more

Review:This book seemed to last forever, resolved nothing from the second book, and took the plot in directions I just couldn't believe. I was utterly underwhelmed after loving the first two books.

Honestly, I think you're better off just reading cliff notes and hoping that book 4 actually returns to moving the plot forward. Read more

Review:The book itself is great, but there were some deficits:

* The cover was damaged in one spot (in a place that was definitely not caused by transportation)
* The invoice was not fixed to the outside of the package, which caused it to get stuck on custom office - so I had to travel there to pick it up

But besides that, everything was ok! Read more

Review:I found this book to be a highly enjoyable read. I felt it was miles ahead of the first one, and it really kept me interested in the series. Like it says in the title of my review, this book is pretty good. Read more

Review:Another great installment in the Lightbringer series but I have to say that a lot of the plot failed to move forward. Yes, you find out more about Gavin. Kip and Tisis' relationship and it's growth is one of the highlights but overall this book didn't do much to move the overall story arc. I don't want to go into more detail to avoid spoilers but it's disappointing we had to wait this long for a book that was essentially another set-up. I love the world, the characters and the magic system waiti... Read more

Review:To be up front - I read Weeks' "Lightbringer" (trilogy) first, and loved it, and so I was very disappointed with this series - though to be honest, I only made it through half the first book. Light bringer wrote women very well. Way of Shadows? Not at all. It was, honestly, a bit disgusting.

Every woman in the book is first described in terms of physical appearance (either an old hag or sexy beauty). She is either a literal "whore" with lose morals (never mind the fact that the men in t... Read more

Review:Most of my critical thoughts were fleshed out while reading Beyond the Shadows, this third book of Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy, but overall I'm critiquing the trilogy as a whole since many of my notions were formed from both the first and second books as well.

Our hero, Kylar, is a wetboy ... a more expert type of assassin. Like other reviewers have commented, "wetboy" is just simply a dumb name ... wish Weeks had thought up something a little more rugged, more tough, or simply more ... Read more
