bumblebee 's review for:

The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks
3.0
adventurous dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

This book would have been pretty good it if hadn't been so damn sexist. Not a single female character (named or unnamed) was introduced without mentioning a) the size of her breasts and b) whether or not the narrator would have sex with her. These descriptions were honestly mostly just gross and unnecessary, and betrayed the author's way of viewing women more than anything.
