The Way of Shadows (Night Angel, Bk 1)
Hophead avatar reviewed on + 285 more book reviews


Brent Rains decided to become an author at an early age and his first novel, book one of a trilogy, shows that he has made a good decision. I am leary of much of the sword and sorcery fantasy being written because it has become all too formulaic, but The Way of Shadows combines a fresh story with intriguing characters and is highly readable. It has a dark edge to the plot that some readers may find off-putting, but those sticking with the book will be well rewarded. Recommended.
