Night Angel Nemesis

Product Information

You’re rereading the original Night Angel Trilogy while you wait for NIGHT ANGEL NEMESIS, scheduled to be released on April 25, and you’re just so freakin’ excited to return to Midcyru with Kylar and revisit some friends and foes, both old and new… Nemesis was a hard book for me to read for many reasons. I read the original Night Angel trilogy when I was in High School shortly after they came out. The books were instrumental in my transitioning from teen fantasy to adult fantasy and they informed my preferences for years to come. They were important books to me and I have longed for more for a very long time. All of this said, I now find myself conflicted because some small part of me hoped for the future of these characters who I had fallen in love with. I wanted to see them heal and to be happy, but anyone who has read the original trilogy knows that things could never be quite that simple. You’re rereading the original Night Angel Trilogy while you wait for ANY information about NIGHT ANGEL NEMESIS because those blasted people at Team Weeks are being stubborn and refusing to share even the teeniest bit of information about it and you can’t keep combing social media for some morsel of what’s to come. With rumors that a ka'kari may be found, adversaries both old and new are on the hunt. And if Kylar has learned anything, it’s that ancient magics are better left in the hands of those he can trust.

If he does the job right, he won’t need to kill at all. This isn’t an assassination — it’s a heist. But Kylar’s best–and maybe only–friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan’s new kingdom, and the king’s twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war. But Kylar's best - and maybe only - friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan's new kingdom, and the king's twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war. This week marked the release of Night Angel Nemesis, the long-awaited follow-up to the Night Angeltrilogy by Brent Weeks. Weeks has been publishing fantasy novels for nearly a decade and a half. With two beloved series under his belt — Night Angeland Lightbringer— he’s flexed quite a few different creative muscles over the years. But none of the author’s previous works are quite like Night Angel Nemesis, a bold new take on his breakout series which feels like a grand return and a fresh beginning all at once.But Kylar’s best – and maybe only – friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan’s new kingdom, and the king’s twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war. Brent Weeks excels in creating deep internal conflict. He takes characters and puts them in situations that force them to take actions that they would never otherwize do. They act against their nature and then have to grapple with the consequences of what they’ve done and of who they really are. This is a painful process, but it is so effective as a writing device. And it is for this reason that I was afraid to read Nemesis. I knew that the first book in a new series wouldn’t be all sunshine and roses. But I also knew that I love Brent’s writing and I love his characters and I needed to see what happened to them next. Every wiki has two list of articles that need help called "Stubs" and "Wanted Articles". Don't be shy, get in there.

There were other departures from Weeks’ earlier style in Night Angel Nemesis which I liked. The female characters’ descriptions and roles feel like less of a sexy caricature. The fact that this novel’s key events are set around a heist rather than assassin training or war means fewer bloody outbursts. Weeks still does not shy away from the violence (indeed, if anyone remembers the moment from the first trilogy, which involves a barrel, olive oil, and a mole scenario, is utilised again in Night Angel Nemesis). Still, because it is not as common, it feels more effective. After the war that cost him so much, Kylar Stern is broken and alone. He's determined not to kill again, but an impending amnesty will pardon the one murderer he can't let walk free. He promises himself this is the last time. One last hit to tie up the loose ends of his old, lost life. Night Angel Nemesis by Brent Weeks. Image courtesy of Orbit Books.
