Review: Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks


           Beyond the Shadows
     Brent Weeks has written an astounding conclusion to his trilogy The Night Angel. This book was filled wit plot twist that kept me guessing..  The characters stayed true to themselves and developed perfectly with their actions, work, and personality. I can see substantial character development from the beginning of the series (The Way of Shadows) to the end especially in Kylar Stern, the main character. The series was well thought out and planed, every book interlocking to make a beautifully put together story like never before, filled with *darkness and light, justice and mercy, shame and honor, and ignobility and nobility*. Characters reveal where their true intentions and loyalties lie. Madness and magic become one in this dark, but epic tale as characters plunge off their rockers. Killers become judges, the banished become gods, and the dead walk. This book is, in my opinion, not recommended for children under the age of 15 years. Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks is sure to enthrall all who turn its pages with the dedication to see the story to the end.
