This book was chosen solely for the fact that its cover art reminded me of that of Brent Weeks' The Way of Shadows, which I happen to know Luke loves. Since my aim was to get Luke trying a new author that he would enjoy, I'm really hoping similar cover art equates to Luke having a similar love of the contents.
Or he'll at least enjoy describing in detail the many ways in which it's inferior. Still fun!
(LUKE: Sweeeet, I've actually been wanting to have a look at this for a while.)
