4.0 to 4.5 stars. Outstanding conclusion to an outstanding series. Brent Weeks has created a superb world with original and well thought out magical systems and creatures. All of the loose ends begun in the first two novels, The Way of Shadows and Shadow's Edge are tied up tight as a drum and brought to a very satisfying conclusion. This series joins the ranks of one of the best fantasy series of recent years and I can not wait for the next book by this author. Highly recommended!!

Marthie Elice Yes, thank you. Finally someone who appreciates the magical systems, they are so different but still fit together somehow. And the ending is indeed "a very satisfying conclusion". I remember being fascinated by the magic systems, and hoping for a good ending, knowing that those are rare, but OMG it was great. All the loose ends are tied up tight as a drum. That's how I felt. And as I was contemplating if this was my new favourite series, someone gave me The Name of The Wind. That was a good book year for me <3
