“Beyond the Shadows” by Brent Weeks • Book Review

Published: Dec 1, 2008 by Orbit
Format: Audiobook, 30 hours

“Growing old with the woman I love would be my first choice, but dying reconciled with her isn't a bad second.”

★★★ (3 / 5 stars) This by far was the best book of the series but still had so many loose ends, unfinished stories, and confusing elements that it's only worth 3 stars. And honestly, I'm surprised more people didn't die. LOL.

Was this book enjoyable? Definitely. There was a ton of action, a quick pace, and there were plot twists every few chapters that kept me on my toes.

But was this series worth the read overall (if this is the conclusion we get)? That's iffy.

On the one hand, there are so many better series (imo) that I want to say, "No way." But also, I genuinely was invested in some of these characters, so it's not like it's a complete waste of time or anything. And while the writing was a bit (or a lot) immature for my tastes, it could've been WAY worse. I definitely can tell that Brent Weeks put a huge amount of blood, sweat, and tears into this series, so that's worth commending.

If you've finished this series, what did you think of the ending? Did it make the series worth it for you? Did you enjoy the whole thing? Please! I need to discuss with someone!
