Publisher's summary

Kylar Stern has given up the way of shadows for a life of peace, but when an old ally returns, Kylar must make a deadly choice in the second novel of the Night Angel Trilogy by NYT bestselling author Brent Weeks.

But when he learns that Logan might actually be alive and in hiding, Kylar is faced with an agonizing choice: will he give up the way of shadows forever and live in peace with his new family, or will he risk everything by taking on the ultimate hit?

4 star story, 3 star narration.

This is the middle book, so I'm assuming you've read enough of Brent Weeks to know that he is a phenomenal author. The content of the book is wonderful (except for Elene being an idiot, but there are excuses for that in the plot). I've listened in the past to Simon Vance, and think he's a talented narrator, but I hate one big thing he does in this book; When the narrator shortens Viridiana, he pronounces her name as "Vie".

I love this series

The world, characters, and magic are so interesting. At some points it is a mystery, and at others a horror story. Sometimes it's a love story and others a classic fantasy story. The series has everything. Narration is great!

Forgot how good these are

I read these over a decade ago and I had forgotten how good Brent Weeks is at writing and adding twists. I also love Simon Vance, if only I could convince him to narrate my dreams.

Good But Long

Audible lists this a book 3 but it is actually book 2 so listen to book 1 first. A continuation of book one, this continues to be a good story. The narrator does a great job.

Great performance

Simon Vance knocks another out of the park. The story was good but floundered a bit. The immature hormonal boys didn't match the story line of the men their characters were to be. Hoping the next book improves.

Great 2nd book

The biggest difference between this book and the first is that it keeps you in your toes, the tension is amazing.
