About this listen
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.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

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.

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

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.
