Without a doubt one of the best fantasy stories (series of books) I have read in a very long time! Cannot say enough good things about this trilogy. Fantastic story, plot and characters. Memorable characters who you'll find yourself contemplating who would best play them in the movie. Cant' wait to read his next effort. A+++
Great fantasy

If you like series like the Wheel of Time this is a great read. Brent Weeks clearly takes some influence from Robert Jordan. Unlike with the wheel of time some of the situations and violence is described in a more graphic and adult manner. I thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy.
The BEST in a long time!!!

This series was so well written and the characters were so fully thought out. I never wanted to put the book down. I bought this book as an impulsive purchase through [...] and I have never been happier with a purchase. Finishing the book was bittersweet because I did not want it to end. Brent Weeks is an excellent author and I CANNOT wait to see what else he can come up with!!!
Amazing debut series!

I'm quite impressed with Brent Week's debut, Night Angel. He paints a very vivid world in which many people from many different backgrounds come together to survive, to help, to fight and to love. That in itself is not so new, but Weeks' characters are so incredibly detailed and believable! Ordinarily, I will skim over fight scenes a bit, mainly I guess because action scenes can be hard to describe and still hold the reader's attention. But, Weeks presents his action scenes so well, you can't help but be totally engrossed! All that and a bag of tricks! I haven't been this enthusiastic over any series in quite a long time, and then to realise this is his first attempt to break into the genre... Wow. I can't wait to find out what he will decide to tackle next.
Fantastic Trilogy

Just a word on cost! This Science Fiction Book Club Creation is available for $14.99 or less. Mine cost only $9.99 when they had a "buy two get one free" promotion. If you join the club, it can be pick as one of your introductory selections. Buy it thru them, they need the business! I would just hate to see the demise of this particular club. The prices from other vendors, are way too high! For a current title. It will be around for a number of years at the mentioned price! since it happens to be quite popular with club members.
