How did you like it?? I've read the other two series by her (which I really enjoyed!) but I wasn't too keen on her Banewrecker series and I've heard some unflattering things about this book.

Traci (traciinaz) | 12 comments I really enjoyed it. The difference between this character Moirin and Phedre or Imiriel is that she isn't a chosen of Kushiel but of Naamah and Anael so she is less conflicted or tortured by a darker side. Some people didn't like that but I found Moirin a really good character. I'd still recommend it. :) I haven't tried her Banewrecker series but have them on my list. I've kinda put off starting them because of the reviews I've read.

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 3289 comments That's good to know. Honestly, I wasn't that in love with the darker elements of the series, just the characters. I think I might check this out.

Re: Banewrecker - you should check it out from the library. It was...different. The story line follows the "bad guys" but in a way that makes their actions seem right or that they might not be the actual bad guys.

Traci (traciinaz) | 12 comments The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks. The Way of Shadows (Night Angel, #1) by Brent Weeks This book has popped out at me over and over at the bookstore but I kept telling myself I would get it "next time." I'm so glad I finally bought it. Fantastic book and I was hooked from page 1.
