[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 5342416, member: 1154"] Just wondering if anyone is reading or has read The Night Angel trilogy, by Brent Weeks (The Way of Shadows, Shadow's Edge, Beyond the Shadows). Just finished the second book and I'm absolutely in love with the series. For the benefit of those who haven't heard of it, the main character is an orphan named Azoth. He grows up in a slummy area known as The Warrens, run by a powerful mafia called the Sa'kage. Most of the children in the Warrens are orphans, unwanted bastards born to criminals and prostitutes, and they band together in gangs called guilds, until they're old enough to join the sa'kage, if they're lucky enough to survive that long. Azoth ends up apprenticed to the greatest assassin in the city, and the first book is basically all about Azoth's upbringing, motivation, and training. A word of warning, the material, particularly in the first few chapters of the book where the setting and motivations are being established, is extremely dark and graphic. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's squeamish, and definitely keep it away from children. [/QUOTE]
