diamondbreezy 's review for:

The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks
3.0

Quick thoughts: interesting read, but some of the character motivations and exposition are a bit ham-fisted or forced. It feels like there are so many terms being dumped on you and many characters or phrases get introduced once and then don’t get mentioned for many chapters. Maybe that’s an intended effect? But it feels rushed and not cohesive.

But overall the throughline of Durzo and Kylar’s relationship is strong, along with what it means to be a wetboy, and plenty of worldbuilding.
