(Spoilers for The Way of Shadows are below).

The sophomore slump.  This really seems to be a problem in a lot of fantasy trilogies, and sadly the Night Angel Trilogy joins the club.  Sure there are plenty of entertaining moments scattered throughout the book, but there are great number of issues, too.

Shadow’s Edge is a fun sequel to The Way of Shadows, but it falls significantly short of it’s predecessor.  By all means this book is like a superhero movie, it’s entertaining, but it’s not going to be winning an Academy Award for Best Picture.
