A review by bnsfly
Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks

2.5

There was a lot I really liked about this book but much more than any other Weeks book I've read, it spent way, way too much of its time musing on the breasts and bodies of its female characters. Weeks has definitely done some of this in other books and there's some level to which you can write this off as "we're seeing the world through the eyes of a young male character" or whatever, but it was just too much in this book. It dragged the book down a lot, to an extent that I almost DNF'ed.
