So I’ve had those characters in my mind, and I’ve wanted to come back for so long, and coming back was a real joy.ĭR: The original Night Angel trilogy is mostly in third person, which is a very familiar style for a lot of fantasy readers. I’ve always wanted to come back…especially when it was really difficult in Lightbringer. īut that story has simmered in the back of my mind. So I decided I would take just a quick three-year, three-book trip and brush up on some skills and come back…so Lightbringer obviously grew in the telling. Or I might try something different.Īnd ultimately I decided I wasn’t quite ready for the big ambitious plan that I had planned for the world of Night Angel, and so I said, you know what, I need to do some cross training, I’m still a young writer…I need to get stronger at some things. You know, I have this plan…I left some narrative hooks, I have some things I want to do still in this world.
But actually, when I finished Night Angel you could find in the back of, I think the third book, there’s an interview with me sort of saying ‘Hey what’s next?’ And I said well, I haven’t exactly decided. What made now the right time to come back and pick up the story of Kylar Stern and Durzo again?īRENT WEEKS: Well…now is the time partly because I promised readers that I would come back to this, and that’s important to me. Read on for highlights, or watch the full interview right here:īrent Weeks on the evolution of Night Angel and his plan for The Ka’kari CodexĭANIEL ROMAN: You finished Night Angel quite a while ago at this point, it was your debut series and one that a lot of readers fell in love with your work through. We caught up with Weeks to talk about the release of Night Angel Nemesis and what it means for the greater series, called The Ka’kari Codex. In our far-ranging interview, we discussed how Night Angel is evolving, the daring style choices used in Nemesis, his plans for the future of the series, how he was influenced by George R.R. It signals a huge expansion of the Night Angel universe, and now that it’s out, Weeks is finally teasing the grand plan he has ahead for characters like assassin Kylar Stern. Night Angel Nemesis is the beginning of a new trilogy set in the world of Midcyru: The Kylar Chronicles.
But none of the author’s previous works are quite like Night Angel Nemesis, a bold new take on his breakout series which feels like a grand return and a fresh beginning all at once. With two beloved series under his belt - Night Angel and Lightbringer - he’s flexed quite a few different creative muscles over the years. Weeks has been publishing fantasy novels for nearly a decade and a half. This week marked the release of Night Angel Nemesis, the long-awaited follow-up to the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks.
