At first when I got a sense of the city, I wasn’t that impressed by the world building. My Thoughts: How do I describe this book? It starts off sort of simple and then becomes more complex as you go along. That’s how the book begins, but it becomes bigger and more complex as we meet new characters and see the intricate interactions between them their ramifications on the fate of Cenaria. Durzo is never afraid and Azoth wants to never be afraid again. Azoth rashly provokes Rat who decides to use him as an example and Azoth’s only hope for survival (and protect his two friends, Jarl and Doll Girl) is to apprentice under Durzo Blint, the best wetboy (an assassin with a magical edge) in the city. His group all hand in most of their earnings to Rat, one of the “Bigs” of their group, who leads through terror. The Premise: The first book in the Night Angel trilogy, this is an epic tale about the citizens of Cenaria, but the focus is on Azoth, a street urchin who lives on the streets with a ragtag band of other children. The 645 page length was daunting though so I didn’t get around to reading it until I was threatened, err, reminded that my husband wanted to lend it to a friend and I better read it before he gave it to them.
My husband bought this series after realizing it’s about assassins and he recommended it to me after he finished.
This book languished on my nightstand for a few months.
