Fans of the Night Angel trilogy?

Anyone? anyone here like Brent Week's best works?

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<|------- thats the best picture I could find of Kylar.

I need to read those again. They were some serious fun. I was lucky that I didn't pick up the first one until all the others were out already, so I didn't have to wait between books. Ate them up like candy.

I borrowed the trilogy edition from my friend Briana, read it over a night (not exaggerating) and stole it

LMAO!

I don't blame you. Hard to put down. Not the best written work out there ever, but seriously awesome.

The only time I was ever disappointed was around the 20th-odd reading of Beyond the Shadows, when I really wondered where all the random elements would coalesce. thats why im holding out hope for the second trilogy

I have no idea what you are talking about! Haha, it's been a while since I read them.

How about the giant dragon in the pipes when Kylar rescues Logan, which somehow implants itself on his arm when he stabs it in the eye and then just randomly appears in his final battle with Moburu and saves him, Jenine, and the entire world? That and all of the prophecies piss me off.

.....

Yup, I DEFINITELY need to read these books again. It's all a fuzzy muddle in my head.

There were only 3 books right? lol

Yeah, he hinted at a followup trilogy in the epilogue of the trilogy hardcover (starring the children of the present characters ) but nothing's been announced.

I don't know how I would feel about that. A follow up with the kids? Meh. Something totally new or same world new people would be good.

oh its same world new people. I just want to see how he would integrate this into the "High King" prophecies.

Big fan here, I've even Weeks's Black Prism. I've that trilogy so many times, I can almost quote word for word. Alot of it made sense to be by the end: The dragon thing made sense in that it was a prophecy thing, even though he really gets into the prophecy. Weeks put out a novella (short novel) called "The Perfect Shadow", it's about Durzo in a prequel to the trilogy. I have Weeks in my twitter, he is actually quite entertaining

I've read Black Prism already and own all of weeks publications. Personally I found Perfect Shadow a tad weaker that the trilogy, but still fairly good. I still don't get how that High King prophecy basically becomes Logan's Deus Ex Machina in the end. It just seems like it doesn't make sense. And don't get me started on all the unanswered questions...

There is more? I might have to get those too. And borrow the trilogy from the library.

So far The Night Angel Trilogy, Perfect Shadow and Black Prism are his only publications, my guess being that his next work published will be a sequel to Black Prism, since he hinted that he was turning that into a trilogy (plus it has a pretty cliffhanger-y ending) under the working name of "Lightbringer Trilogy"

HEY! yeah I've read the trilogy and while the first book is really great, I found it degraded with the other 2. Like you where hinting at, he basically was throwing to much in the books and left WAY to many lose ends and unanswered questions. Some parts seems just thrown together, and others were totally fleshed out... It was his first novels so I can give him a break. I did like that he didn't overly descript every little thing in the book, like he mentioned in an interview.

He doesn't write:

"The wind blew through the open reeds over a valley thats seen such magnificent skirmishes as the battle of hastings and lea. A small meadow sits in the distance where an orchard that was passed down over generations has since withered to dust."

instead he writes:

"it was cold and dreary in the field"

I like that.

There were some loose ends, but it made sense, I did have to read the booke several times to piece it together. The real prophecy I noticed was Dorian's. The only that had me a bit stumped was the High King, I still don't know if Logan ended up being the High King or if it's one of the two children in his wife's belly.
