Perfect Shadow

A Night Angel Novella

De: Brent Weeks

Narrado por: James Langton

For the first time as an Orbit special edition, Brent Weeks's blockbuster novella Perfect Shadow tells the origin story of the Night Angel trilogy's most enigmatic character: Durzo Blint.

Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He's also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he's worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he's become a hero, his very names passing into legend: Acaelus Thorne, Yric the Black, Hrothan Steelbender, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Nimble.

But when Gaelan must take a job hunting down the world's finest assassins for the beautiful courtesan-and-crimelord Gwinvere Kirena, what he finds may destroy everything he's ever believed in.

good story

goodstory,but listening to I aggsr just finishing "Nig http Angel trilogy it was just too damn short

it was good suplumentry story.

I realy liked hearing more about derzo but I would have liked to hear more.

Great story!!!! Subpar reader

I love the Night Angel series. Brent Weeks is one of my favorite authors and this is another wonderful addition to a beloved character in the series. There is only one problem, the reader is subpar to say the least. While his voice is wonderful to hear, the man gets the name of the characters wrong at points and I think that he should get the correct pronunciation of the characters before reading another book. Well written story and I love Durzo Blint as a character and it is awesome to get a mini story about him and a little in his backstory.

Great Series

A great listen from beginning to end, the narration was excellent and the story was superb. This was my first collection by Brent Weeks and he has quickly become a favorite.

Not my favorite narrator but not bad either

A must if you read the trilogy but this has spoilers so do not start here.

nice to get some background on the hero

What made the experience of listening to Perfect Shadow the most enjoyable?

getting more of the history of this series.

What did you like best about this story?

short stories can tell a great story with out the clutter of too much detail and still satisfy

What three words best describe James Langton’s voice?

annoying english accent

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

from hero to assassin.

For fans of the series

A fun little novella. I do not think it would hold up on it's own, but it was enjoyable if you have read the others in the series.

I would have liked a little more of a traditional story arc, but I don't regret spending the $4.

The narrator was pretty horrible though. He became very distracting at times. Definitely pulled me out of the story. He has a awkward cadence to his sentences and puts pauses where they do not belong.

Durzos story was great

So intersting to hear the dialogue between Durzo and the Kakari. Weeks does a great job delving into Durzos losses and how he wound up a wetboy. Loved this book.

original narrator was better because I got used

Miss the original narrator...but this guy did an good job...hope there be another story line from this "theme"

Meh

Didn't like new the new performer. Words were miss pronounced. It caused me to lose the train of the story as I realize what rhe meant to say.
