About Brent Weeks

American author, Brent Weeks, had a very normal American upbringing upon being born in Whitefish, Montana in 1977. He developed a love for literature, which we all know can carry its readers to faraway places, escaping the reality of everyday living. He had a great fondness for Edgar Allen Poe, so his genre of writing was fantasy and mystery.

Weeks first novel, The Girl, was a complete failure, but as he says in his biography, skipping the boring parts, he has written eight best-selling novels. They include The Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer Series for which he won several literary awards, and sold millions of copies. He also had a NYT best seller in his 2012 book, The Blinding Knife.

Weeks graduated from Hillsdale College in 2000 with an English degree. Before being a serious author, he taught briefly and was a bartender. He found his girl, Kristi Barnes, they were married and live in Oregon with their two daughters.

Brent Weeks packs lots of content into ''Shadow’s Edge'' and as with the first novel in the series there are lots of different story strands which tie together nicely, although a few are left open for the final book. This is a great book and I found it to be well written, with some strong characters......more

Goodreads review by Deborah on November 17, 2019

Its so sad when the first book in a series is better than the second one, it makes it harder fir readers to continue the series, but since I'm already invested in the series I'll read the third and final book in this series. “I was ashamed,” Logan said. “Let me tell you what I learned in the Hole......more

Goodreads review by TS on October 22, 2016

Not too sure how to rate this book and decided to stick to 3-stars for a more neutral standpoint. There were some awesome scenes, some not-so-awesome, and some meandering which I'm not sure went anywhere. The character that made the first book better was not present and boy, do I feel the absence. K......more
