Let's be honest; I've been dreading reading this. Why? Because The Night Angel Trilogy ended up a broken promise. Good beginning, steady decline in the quality of characterization and plotting, and, need I mention, a sexist hot mess? At any rate, Weeks seems to have been going for something different here, or at least something more developed--say perhaps, Epic--and it works much better. Except it's so damn conscious of being epic that I roll my eyes just looking at it--that heft! The matteFrEEEEEk-in' fantastic!!! This is really all that must be said, but of course I will say more. Many people that review this book will take the time to recap the plot and give you some character intros, so I am taking the lazy man's road and skipping anything remotely informative about the book itself in my review.Instead, I will tell of how I felt throughout the book. One of the main objectives in reading is to think and feel something, right? A good book will make you think in circles of
I DUNNNOOOOOO. First, I really enjoyed Brent Weeks' other series A LOT, so I was excited about this coming out, and seeing the blurb about the magic system, I was sooo psyched. I feel like this series was kinda a throwback to like Eddings and Feist and Jordan and those old-school EPIC fantasy series. I have to admit I wasn't really hooked by the characters as much as I would have liked, but overall I ADMIRE what the author is setting up. I guess my biggest beef, other than really not liking the
What Brent Weeks has painted here is nothing short of marvellous. Its a beautifully rich fantasy universe with an awe-inspiring amount of world-building and colour behind it. Theres just so much detail that truly brought the world to life for me. The Black Prism has a fantastic magic system. I thought Brandon Sanderson was the only writer of fantasy who could create such cool and intricate systems. I was wrong. Brent Weeks system based on colour and light can match anything Sanderson has put
Honestly thought this was some feminine bs but as I kept reading I would definitely agree with you. I dont care about a women's breast when I'm
Update: It's a bit sad (but not really surprising) that I have to defend my position after giving multiple examples especially after plenty of other people have come forward and agreed.I'm not going to argue with people who haven't read the book (seriously?). There's a huge difference between a sexist world/character and a sexist author.An author is able to create a fantasy world with a different map, magic system, religion but can't help himself and has to respect the status quo about sexism.
This is a re-read for me, but I am oh so happy to be back in this world which I first encountered in 2015. As the series draws to its close (book #5 is due out later this year) I decided to do a #LightbringerSeriesReread to re-familiarise myself with the world, characters and magic. It turns out I still remembered the majority of the magic, and yet going back to the series I found it so much easier from the start to actually 'get' what was happening because I had that bit more familiarity. I
