brent weeks is an awesome author whos written a fantasy trilogy called the night angel.
i recomend these books to anyone

Vouch.

Just finished the trilogy last night. Loved it.
The only thing I can say I honestly don't like about the way he writes is, he bounces between characters in the story a little too much for me. I mean, he doesnt do it in the first book, but as the characters widen out, he writes a couple pages to one person, bounces to another, then another, and another.
It's mildly annoying. xD
