Summary

The nail-biting third novel in the Night Angel series, from international bestseller Brent Weeks - an astonishing and epic tale of magic, violence and revenge.

A new queen has usurped the throne and is leading Cenaria into disaster. The country has become a broken realm with a threadbare army, little food, and no hope. Kylar Stern plans to reinstate his closest friend Logan as King, but can he really get away with murder?

In the north, the Godking's death has thrown Khalidor into civil war. To gain the upper hand, one faction attempts to raise the goddess Khali herself. But they are playing with volatile powers, and trigger conflict on a vast scale. Seven armies will converge to save - or destroy - an entire continent.

Kylar has finally learnt the bitter cost of immortality, and is faced with a task only he can complete. To save his friends, and perhaps his enemies, he must assassinate a goddess. Failure will doom the south. Success will cost him everything he's ever loved.

"Weeks creates a rich blend of politics, culture and character...then throws in magic-using assassins." (Peter V. Brett)

If ever a book series need a TV series

Brent's world building and character development is so impressive you would think he was using his Talent. This is my second run through of the Night Angel Trilogy and its better than I remember since the physical book release so long ago. The audio books do not disappoint, Simon Vance brings life to the words getting me all prepped and ready for when I buy the Nemesis physical copy and you don't need to be Dorian to know that i will also eventually purchase the Audio book too, its destiny!

Satisfying ending

I don’t do reviews, I can’t stand it when people write reviews going over the story so all I’ll say is if you’ve liked the last books this is more of the same and I enjoyed it enough to stick it to the end.

Excellent

Brent’s character arc’s and story telling is spellbinding.
There is also a sense of moral challenge to how we choose to live that always inspires me.

Kyler seems to be getting dumb and dumber

I enjoyed the twists and surprises in this one but sometimes one has to wonder why Kyler acts like Peter from family guy
