So many things that I wanted resolved: the GodKing, the Night Angel, the witches, Vi, Logan. Once I skimmed through these long passages at the start of the book, however, the story kept me reading. Oh, and Kylar's moping about how he has to choose between "love" and everything else he knows and wants.
There were a lot more "character development" scenes in this book than in the first - i.e there were chapters dedicated to Eline's moralizing, Vi's life, and Dorion's insanity. Eline bugged me with her holier-than-thou attitude and her "love" that was contingent on Kylar changing his behavior to match what she thought he should be. Kylar has become a titanic force with a foot in the light and in the dark, but must choose which path to follow.I really like the story, and the suspense, and most of the characters and their relationships. But darkness finds Kylar along the road to the light as friends return for one last job and Kylar learns more about who Durzo and ultimately Kylar are. Attempting to leave behind the life of shadows that ruined his master, Kylar flees to Caernarvon and an idyllic life with Elene. Many nobles, led by self-proclaimed Queen Terah Graesin, have left the city in ruins to the Khalidorans. Godking Garoth Ursuul has assumed power in Cenaria and is manipulating the futures and destinies of all who live there. Or he could succumb to his flair for destruction, the years of training, to save his friend and his country - and lose all he holds precious. So Kylar is starting over: new city, new companions, and new profession.īut 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.
His friend was Logan Gyre, heir to Cenaria's throne, but few of the ruling class survive to mourn his loss.
In the wake of the Godking's violent coup, both his master and his closest friend are dead. Kylar Stern has rejected the assassin's life. It centers upon Kylar, the Night Angel, once an apprentice of Durzo Blint, a former celebrated wetboy and his journey for retribution against those who torn his kingdom asunder in a coup months prior to the events of the novel. The story takes place in the fictional land of Midcyru.
