Shadow's Edge: Book 2 of the Night Angel (Night Angel, #2)

by Brent Weeks

Kylar has rejected the assassin's life. In the wake of the Godking's violent coup, both his master and his closest friend are dead. His friend was Logan Gyre, heir to Cenaria's throne, but few of the ruling class survive to mourn his loss. So Kylar is starting over: new city, new companions, and new profession. But when he learns that Logan might be alive, trapped and in hiding, Kylar faces an impossible choice. He could give up the way of shadows forever, and find peace with his young family. Or Kylar could succumb to his flair for destruction, the years of training, to save his friend and his country - and lose all he holds precious.

Listened to this book via Audible. Awesome, awesome narrator for an outstanding story. I loved hearing the continuation of this story.

Just fantastic.

This was a bit of a hard slog for me to get into, possibly would have been better read back-to-back with the previous one but I really didn't find myself caring too much about the characters for the first third of the book. The author has tossed a lot of stuff at this book, there's a lot of detail here but I feel as if in some ways some of the good gets overwhelmed by the volume.

Kylar Stern has moved with Elene and Uly to another town and Kylar is trying to leave the life of an assassin behind him. He is determined to create a new life for himself with Elene, however the world isn't ready to let him have peace.

Like I said initially, this took me a while to get into, when I got past a certain point it did take off but it took a long while. I liked it but it was definitely a bridging novel.
