The Blood Mirror by Brent Weeks I've just begun listening to this (audio version is great, BTW) and it's already got me in a tizzy. Can't wait to see what happens to the characters after some serious craziness at the end of the previous book! This will probably keep me engrossed all week 😀 ... Continue Reading →
The Broken Eye by Brent Weeks OHMYGOSH. Brent Weeks just can't write a bad book, can he? I am 1000% loving the Lightbringer series and simultaneously want to read the whole thing immediately and want it to last forever. It seems each book keeps getting better and better and Andross Guile keeps getting more cunningly... Continue Reading →
The Rose Society by Marie Lu It's about time I picked this up since it's been on my shelf for oh, several months now. I just want to see if Adelina is going to be the monster that I hope she is. The synopsis implies as much, so we shall see! The... Continue Reading →

Published: October 1, 2008 Publisher: Orbit Genre: Fantasy Pages: 645 (Mass Market) My Rating: 4.0/5.0 Synopsis: From New York Times Bestselling author Brent Weeks... For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art-and he is the city's most accomplished artist. For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's...

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where bloggers feature a book that we just can’t wait to get our hands on! Okay, okay, so I should probably finish the other books before I get all excited about The Blood Mirror, but I CAN'T WAIT. Maybe I'll catch... Continue Reading →
Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks These books get better and better. While I wasn't crazy about the first installment, I've really grown to love this series. The plot is far more interesting now that Kylar's coming of age type story is over with and there's some serious meat and mystery to the plot. I've... Continue Reading →
Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks I'm still trucking through this series and I have to say that, despite the narrator, I enjoy the story! Kylar and Elene really frustrate me at times because they can't seem to communicate or understand one another. It seems they just look at one another and go "YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL... Continue Reading →
The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks I started the audio version last week and will hopefully finish in the next few days. I like it- assassin books are almost always great- but I don't love it as much as The Black Prism. Maybe my opinion will change as the book/series goes along. It's dark... Continue Reading →
