One of the things I get frustrated by in our world is dealing with people who are both not terribly good at what they do but also disinterested in getting better. This makes it all the more enjoyable when I find a piece of art (visual, textual, or otherwise) created by someone who has become excellent at their craft. Brent Weeks is one of those folks, in my opinion, and I recently finished revisiting the awesome Night Angel trilogy. So, dear reader, this recommendation is for you if you also enjoy fantasy that involve elements like assassins (or “wetboys”, as it were), magic and mages, kingdoms falling and rising, but most importantly: how to rise above the most challenging situations in life while remaining true to yourself.
