Your books were some of the best I've read in a long time! I picked up the Night Angel Trilogy only recently, say a couple of weeks ago, and I finished all three books in the span of about a couple of days (Which is basically the fastest I've ever read a book let alone a trilogy!). I'm not about to compare your writing to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, but I would have to argue that in the Fantasy genre, your Night Angel Trilogy comes second. When I was say, thirteen years old, Tolkien's books got me hooked on the Fantasy/Sci-Fi genre. I then moved on to books like Christopher Paolini's Inheritnace cycle, which I must say was good, but that was the only series that I liked until I was browsing books at the local Borders and found The Way of Shadows. The characters in your book were amazingliy vivid and all of them have become favorites of mine, Even Garoth whose heart was so black it could blot out the sun, is among some of the most memorable characters I've ever read about in books. Kylar, Durzo, Vi, Momma K, They're all great! Especially Durzo! He is so Cool! The plot was always sucking me in, keeping me up late on school nights sometimes until maybe four in the morning. I love your books!!! I cant wait for your next trilogy and hope that someday soon you'll continue Kylar and the gangs adventures Midcyru. Of course dont rush too much! A good book is a work of art, and all works of art take time! Well any way on a side note, your books have also inspired me to attempt to write a book of my own..............It probably wont be very good, but books like yours make me want to be able to do what you can do, to paint vivid landscapes, and characters and what they are feeling with words. To make a story that will keep readers like myself up late into the night and the early morning sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see what happens on the next page! Mr. Weeks I wish you luck ( Not that you need it!) on your new books and hope that you're sucessful in all your future endeavors! Sincerely Your Self-Proclaimed Biggest Fan, Mitchell Shigeru Colditz Mr.Weeks!!!! Your books were some of the best I’ve read in a long time!

I just don't find many good writers anymore. Terry Brooks is one and then you are another one now. I noticed he put in a recommendation on one of the books in the trilogy which really made me look forward to reading it even more. I work fulltime and I'm going to school fulltime but I finished Shadow's Edge in 2 days. That is rare for me. So thank you, for showing me there are good writers left, and for continuing to write.

A very good trilogy. The best I have read in a while. Please do NOT write any sequels. I have been reading fantasy novels for several decades and extended series almost always go down hill (re Cook, Anthony, Farmer, Burroughs) and disappoint the fans. Don't do that to your talent. Invent new worlds and fresh characters. If you must return to Midcyru, wait at least ten years. By then you should have new ideas and a different perspective.

These are by far the geatest books I have ever read. when I finished the third book a few minutes ago, I got on the computer as fast as I could, hoping to find out if you were writing more books. To know that you are writing more books has filled me with an excitement that would take pages to describe. You are an amazing author, and I wish you the best of luck with your new books.

I have read through both "way of the shadow" and "Shadows edge" in a space of days. Waiting patiently for the last of the series to arrive from Amazon any day now. While I wait I wanted to commend your gift for writing. As a budding author myself, I know I am not telling you anything you don't already know. But works like yours definitely inspire me to try to be even better than I am. Your stories have layers, and great depth of character far better than the stuff I have read from some of the biggest published names out there. Crichton has nothing on you when comparing character development and story telling. You have a gift/Talent that will make you even more famous in the future, just give us even better and better stories. Tell me, has anyone approached you about doing a full length animated movie of this series? If your agent is smart he would be shopping this not just to Hollywood, but to anime production companies. I would love to see a full length movie made of these three in the Vein of Akira. Okay I have said too much already. Thank you for the read. Looking forward to reading more of your works Hello

I can't wait for the new series. I am dying to know that how Kylar and Vi will go on. Plz make the Night Angel series better, longer and faster. It is really wonderful series.
