Beyond The Shadows - Brent Weeks

Another simply amazing trilogy completed. And room for the possibility of a follow up series.

ISBN: 978-0316033664
format: Paperback
pages: 720
publisher: Orbit
pub. date: 2008-12-01
started reading: 2009-02-22
finished reading: 2009-02-26

This was the action-packed conclusion to the Night Angel Trilogy, and perhaps the best thing about it that I can say, without simply repeating my praise for the previous two books is that, unlike many authors whose writing begins to drag towards the end, Beyond the Shadows picks up pace as you go.
By the end of the book the timeline seemingly whips by in a blur and yet, it is a controlled blur with Weeks nicely glossing over things that you don't need at that point (such as day by day character development of well established protagonists).
All in all, a satisfying read and a series I would recommend to anyone looking for a little light fantasy reading with good character development and a gripping plot.
