Gaelan Fuego de Estrella es un campesino, un padre atento y un esposo fiel. Un hombre que, en apariencia, transmite serenidad y simpleza. Pero lo que el mundo no sabe es que Gaelan es también un ser inmortal, poseedor del don supremo del arte de la guerra. A través de los siglos, el guerrero ha tenido que adoptar múltiples alter egos para esconder su verdadera esencia, pero es un hombre destinado a convertirse en héroe aunque procure vivir en la oscuridad. Así es como los diversos nombres que ha asumido acaban convirtiéndose en auténticas leyendas: Acaelus Thorne, Yric el Negro, Hrothan Doblaceros, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Diestro... El delicado equilibrio que sostiene toda su vida y la mentira que lo acompaña parecen vacilar el día en que Gaelan se ve obligado a aceptar un nuevo y peligroso trabajo: enfrentarse a los delincuentes más temidos del universo, para ayudar a la dueña suprema de los crímenes de la ciudad, la hermosa cortesana Gwinvere Kirena. Brent Weeks Physical Hardcover Copy & E-Book Obtained: Amazon Purchase for Hardcover and Google Books purchase for E-Book copy Brent Weeks has to be in my top 5 authors of all time. Ever since I pre-ordered and read the Night Angel series (will review those at some point later on after a re-read) because I wanted to find a new random author to start reading one day while on the Barnes and Noble website. After buying and pre-ordering all of his books I could, that ended up as one of the best random purchases I have ever done. Warning possible slight spoilers ahead I finally have gotten my grubby hands on the prequel to the Night Angel series and I was not disappointed at all. It was a very quick read and the bonus short story at the end was also fun to read. I could almost say I feel complete about the Night Angel universe but the novella still leaves more to be desired. I want to explore the world more and get more stories and adventures from Durzo Blint’s past. In My Opinion, this was a very quick paced book that only just barely touches the surface of who Durzo Blint is and was. I hope that there is more to come and I would like to explore this even more if the author ever allows us to. I give this book 4 ka’kari out of 5 aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: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. Also includes the short story, I, Nightangel. 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.

This frelling audiobook had me sobbing at times. Maybe because I knew the outcome of his path, maybe because I knew that the man he was at the start of the story (Galen Starfire) would not be the man he was at the end and it broke my heart.
