Description

For the first time as an Orbit special edition, Brent Weeks's blockbuster novella Perfect Shadow tells the origin story of the Night Angel trilogy's most enigmatic character: Durzo Blint. Also includes the short story, I, Nightangel.

Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He's also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he's worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he's become a hero, his very names passing into legend: Acaelus Thorne, Yric the Black, Hrothan Steelbender, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Nimble.
But when Gaelan must take a job hunting down the world's finest assassins for the beautiful courtesan-and-crimelord Gwinvere Kirena, what he finds may destroy everything he's ever believed in.

    This book, although good was too short for me. I wish Brent made more of a story to tell. It just fell too short for me, good day read though.

    Just as in the night angel trilogy, Brent Weeks has done a brilliant job. He gave us a story to a wonderful character who was all mystery throughout the trilogy, but never once is that mystery broken. This has to be one of the greatest prequels i have read, and would willingly recommend it to anyone, even if you have not read the night angel trilogy!

    Although this is technically a prequel to his Night Angel Trilogy, I would recommend reading those first to get to the characters a little better. For anyone who has read NAT, then I highly recommend getting this ebook! The style is a little different from NAT, mainly because it changes from first person to third person. That said, Perfect Shadow is not made confusing by the change in view point. An excellent installment for Night Angel fans, and if you haven't read those yet, pick them up! You will not be disappointed! Honestly my only complaint is that it is only available as an ebook at this time... <3 Night Angel Forever!!'

    I've loved every book that Brent Weeks has put out in the short time he's been publishing books. This book keeps the trend going! I loved it "cover" to "cover"
