Beyond The Shadows: Book 3 of the Night Angel (Night Angel, #3)

by Brent Weeks

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.

Another Audible purchase first, and then I picked up the book to have a physical copy.

Beyond the Shadows is the final book in thetrilogy, and I loved it just as much as the other two. I thought Brent Weeks did an excellent job ending the story, although I was sad to see it end.

I would have loved to keep reading about Kylar and all of the characters I loved in the novels.

This series is a constant re-listen for me. I love turning it on and delving back into this world on my drives to and from work.

The conclusion of the Night Angel Trilogy and this is an interesting story and I did like it, I just didn't love it. I found myself a bit confused with the changing of the viewpoints and while it did often round out the story, sometimes it wasn't clear enough for me to make the leap to who it was the viewpoint was from. The conclusion was good and Weeks did make the characters make some difficult decisions, many of them between a rock and a hard place.

I would like to read more by this author, I enjoyed the story and would recommend it.
