From NYT bestselling author Brent Weeks comes the first novel in his breakout fantasy trilogy in which a young boy trains under the city's most legendary and feared assassin, Durzo Blint. For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art -- and he is the city's most accomplished artist. For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned to judge people quickly -- and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint. But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics -- and cultivate a flair for death.

En vlodigt fascinerande bok. Vad jag lskar, samtidigt som det skrmemr mig, med den, r att det r verkligen inget.. frsknat med den. Det r krlek med, men det r plgsam krlek ocks, Durzo r ingen perfekt man, han r elak, han ljuger, han slss. Han r kr i en kvinna men ligger med hennes syster fr att gra henne svartsjuk. Han har dliga sidor precis som han har bra. Och Brent Weeks skriver s otroligt om allt det skrmmande som hnder i "slummen", barn som blir vldtagna, pojkar som flickor, att det inte alltid kommer ngon i sista sekund och rddar dem i nd. Det var det som slog mig mest medan jag lste boken, inget r frsknat, det finns en kall, r verklighet och man fr bara se till att verleva den.

Nail biting good. The fantasy world Brent Weeks has invented kept me mesmerized from start to finish. Even though both the main characters in the book are rather odd and peculiar in very special ways you can really relate to them. And of course the best thing while reading the book is that you know that when you are done with the book you don't have to put the world of Warren behind, but you have 2 more books waiting.
I can warmly recommend this book to anyone who is into fantasy (perhaps even Sci-Fi). The way Brent Weeks desribes environments with detail is rather facnating.
All in all I rate this book 4/5.
