The Night Angel Trilogy	comment	The Night Angel Trilogy is a fantasy novel series by Brent Weeks, the author of The Lightbringer Series. It's about a boy from the slums who becomes an apprentice to a famed wetboy, assassins with magical talents, and who inherits a magical artifact which gives him a manner of supernatural powers. Lots of politics, war, and evil megalomaniacs. Major subjects include Kylar's feelings about his job, his love triangle, and the fact that bad things happen to good people.In some ways the story reads like a strange adult-themed hybrid of Mistborn: The Original Trilogynote To the point that Brandon Sanderson once commented that Brent Weeks writing was similar enough to his that, in the event that he Died During Production, Brent is one of the writers he might recommend for finishing The Stormlight Archive, as Sanderson finished Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time and The First Law, with a bit of The Farseer Trilogy thrown in for good measure. From there things build to a study of faith, love, the cost of doing the right (and wrong) thing, what to do in an unfair universe, and a look at what immortality can do to a person. Add in a high amount of action, politics, and a multitude of plans conducted by multitudes of people of increasingly complexity and you have an idea of what the series is like.The first book in the series is The Way of Shadows, second Shadow's Edge, third Beyond the Shadows. A novella was released in 2011 in audio or e-book format only called Perfect Shadow.No relation to the movie Night Angel.

The Godking wanted power from Khali, so he accepted two demons into himself. The first one was Pride, and it had no noticable side effects. So he did it again, and got Lust. And now, he's randy pretty much all of the time. He admits that while the first one was easy to bear, the second one is extremely difficult to live with.

The Night Angel Trilogy / int_21d70919	type	Crapsack World
The Night Angel Trilogy / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Cenaria is a country / city-state which is so endemically corrupt that the local crime syndicate is able to control who gets to be the King- and choose the bad King precisely because he is an incompetent, paranoid buffoon, and thus not someone who will crack down on crime. The poorer sections are rife with poverty and violence and most kids are in street gangs, regardless of age, and moving up the social ladder is officially illegal, though most nobles are less evil than ignorant of how bad things are. Khalidor, to the North, is several magnitudes worse, a Religion of Evil- Magocracy / Theocracy literally built on suffering and war, where the God-Emperor is always a prolific serial torture-rapist-killer, and above him the God of Evil who controls the highly addictive and corrupting Black Magic that makes the country one of the most powerful and expansionist nations on the continent. Misogny is hardwired into the culture to the point where sexual slavery is the closest they have to marriage, and not beating and raping your sex-slave daily is practically revolutionary. God-Kings are chosen from a batch of the predecessors (male) bastard kids by his savagely abused concubines, who are "trained" on a diet of rape, torture and murder (the female bastards, their half-sisters, amongst the victims) and encouraged to plot and scheme against each other (to the point of murder, if they can get away with it). This has all been going on since the dynasty was founded centuries ago by a man one contemporary explicitly referred to as The Dark Lord, and its armies include a range of monsters and, in a pinch, demons, all of which require multiple ritual human sacrifices to create or summon for battle. Most of the action of the story takes place in one or both of these countries (including when the former is conquered by the latter); the other nations, while far from perfect and having their own flaws, are much better by comparison.

This is so much the case that when he starts cursing everyone in earshot just tunes him out. It doesn't help much that he's the king and therefore no one will swear in front of him. Then along comes resident badass Durzo. It wasn't until after Niner saw the looks on his guards faces that he realized he'd been insulted.

It was once the site of a huge city from which the High King Jorson Alcestes ruled. After it fell to an enormous army of Krull, Ezra the Mad sealed the whole place up. It has weaves to block passage, more weaves that will kill anyone who draws on magic, and is topped off by a magical construct called the Hunter that runs like a cheetah and hits like a truck. The seal is so tight that, 700 years later, the bodies from that final battle haven't even decayed. This is intentional, as Krull can be given new bodies, but not until their old one dies; the weaves Ezra put down keep those Krull imprisoned in their dormant bodies, unable to be resummoned.

The lack of royal blood is also why Lantano Garuwashi feels such a need to prove himself despite already being a brilliant warlord and duelist - according to his culture, commoners can never achieve true greatness.

The Night Angel Trilogy / int_6114a875	comment	Lost Technology: Ezra the Mad created a lot of magical versions of this [[note: including most of the ka'kari]]. The black ka'kari is older than all of them, and the other ka'kari are imitations, although most characters are unaware of that fact, and its origins are lost to time. However, Ezra did tinker around with it and enhance its abilities- most notably, before he came along, holders of the black ka'kari were very much mortal, if still superpowered. Feir rediscovers a lost method to reforge broken mistarille swords in order to make a 'fake' Ceur'Caelestos. It is strongly implied that he made the real Ceur'Caelestos- the reason it had never been found before being that Feir had yet to make it.

Another wrinkle is revealed by Elene before she dies, that she in fact had already offered her life in exchange for his in a prayer to her god, and that the Wolf and her god had both come to her and told her of her impending death and the potential sacrifice she could make for Kylar and the world.

This would have the side effect of making their kingdom absurdly easy to conquer if anyone decided to attack them. Oh, and guess what, one of the most brutal, evil, relentless, and sadistic kingdoms in the history of fiction shares a border with them, and tries to invade on an absurdly regular basis. For want of a strong king, the entire kingdom falls apart, and is invaded by a foreign power who will not tolerate the Sa'Kage's existence, period, end of story, no negotiations, the majority of the leaders of the Sa'Kage are dead or in hiding by the end of the second book, and by the end of the third, the Sa'Kage as it was no longer exists.

The Night Angel Trilogy / int_83adb272	comment	Crystal Dragon Jesus: The One God. The way Elene and Count Drake act suggest that he preaches ideas very, very similar to what we would consider good Christian virtues. There are at least two outright quotations from The Bible. Elene says the God's blessings are 'new every morning' (Lamentations 3:23, best known from the hymn 'The Steadfast Love of the Lord Never Ceases') and when Dorian wrestles with his conscience over whether to tell Jenine that Logan lives, the voice of God quotes Jeremiah 29:11 to him ("I know the plans I have for you"). For what its worth, Brent Weeks is an atheist-turned- Christian (though the story never becomes an Author Tract). Count Drake also outright quotes Saint Francis of Assisi, saying, "A saint once said, 'Preach at all times. When necessary, use words.'" There are also other gods that were/are worshiped before the One God. Nysos, the god of blood, wine, and semen whom Wetboys like Hu Gibbet worship. And Khali, the Klahidorian goddess.

He decides to sentence Kylar to death for Law, and send a wetboy to spring him from jail for Good. Kylar actually understood this trope in advance, and knew what the consequences would be. Although had he known that the consequence was going to be Elene's life, it's a certainty he wouldn't have let himself be executed, regardless of the consequences to the world, as he had not yet become mature enough. It took Elene's acceptance of him and her courage to make him willing to make that sacrifice.

He believes his relationship with Janine is fated, and goes out of his way to excuse having a wife barely half his age, even though it's not unusual for a God-King (Garoth was in his fifties and had a fourteen-year-old in his harem). This is foreshadowing that their relationship doesn't really work. On the flip side, him raping a 13-year-old girl in front of her father as a show of dominance over their tribe is meant to be horrific, and Wanhope's read of the situation as a simple act of etiquette is a signal that something has gone deeply wrong with him.

Immortality Inducer: The Black Ka'kari grants immortality so long as you're bonded to it. Also, Ezra the Mad. Although he implies that he has a limited lifespan, it's also implied that he can increase it by bringing powerful magical objects into Ezra's Wood. Durzo mentions that bearers of the other Ka'kari simply stop aging. If killed, they stay dead. This is because the black predates the others. The rest were imperfect copies made by Ezra the Mad; he couldn't quite rival the original.

The Night Angel Trilogy / int_dc1761bd	type	A God Am I
The Night Angel Trilogy / int_dc1761bd	comment	A God Am I: Many gods are worshiped, but the only one we actually see tangible proof of is actually an immortal magician who has set herself up as the goddess Khali. And then there's the Godking, who is really seen as a god by some of his subjects. Kylar has a few scattered moments of this after receiving the black ka'kari, allowing him to become completely invisible, effectively immortal through constant resurrection, and granting/boosting his magical powers. Subverted though in that Kylar realises this and wonders why Durzo Blint, the previous owner of the black ka'kari, didn't declare himself a God and use his power to rule. He decides that there must be a reason. It turns out there is one: the black ka'kari itself is sentient enough to decide someone worthy of using it, leaving Durzo Blint when it realizes his morals have fallen too far, and the knowledge of its very existence is a secret even to mythology and so must be kept secret to stop unwanted attention from people seeking the power of a ka'kari. Incidentally, in the second book, Kylar starts running into people who do think he is a god and worship him as such- some of them actually think he Durzo, but since Kylar is his successor the truth probably wouldn't make much difference to them anyway, since fundamentally it is the Night Angel they worship. In relation to the immortality: Kylar is careless at first, much to the horror and anger of the Wolf, but constantly reminds himself that such a power must come with a downside even if he cannot see it, and so avoids dying if possible just to be safe. It turns out there is a price: that with every time he resurrects he takes the life of someone he loves in his place (although the effect can be delayed by the Wolf, it cannot be prevented).
