Stephanie Anderson’s Reviews > The Way of Shadows > Status Update

So I enjoy this yes but it is too disjointed. Now I’m near the end I can see what the point is but leading up to this was a bit haphazard

A lot is happing now and the seer can’t see!!!! I’m get agitated that this has potential to tell a great tale so I’m looking forward to the next one

Right now so much has happened. But everything feels all over the place. I understand why the review for this book is like that as I feel the story is all over the place. The prophecy is wrong all the info everyone has on each other is wrong. No one knows the truth which is typical is fantasy and everyone is wrong about something. I’m frustrated!!

Kvoth is special of course and the fact he can not use his talent makes him so. He is also nameless and must kill his master who trained him to be the best assassin with secrets to his birth possibly. Let’s see lots of parallel to TOG right now

So the story is growing the narrative of Azoth and his Master Blint. Blint hates but cares for Azoth but is still weary of him as Azoth success will lead To his death. Azoth is trying his best to live as Kylar and become the best assassin but he also lives with the doubt in his heart that he is still the street rat who abandoned those who truly care for him. Good so far
