He doesn't allow you to look away' Robin Hobb 'I was mesmerised from start to finish. Unforgettable characters, a plot that kept me guessing, non-stop action and the kind of in-depth storytelling that makes me admire a writer's work' Terry Brooks 'Weeks has truly cemented his place among the great epic fantasy writers of our time' British Fantasy Society Books by Brent Weeks Night Angel The Way of Shadows Shadow's Edge Beyond the Shadows Perfect Shadow (novella) Lightbringer The Black Prism The Blinding Knife The Broken Eye The Blood Mirror The Burning White

I love this series. It's not very heavy. The magic system is clever and interesting. The world-building is intriguing without being completely mystifying. The characters have serious conflicts but aren't dour and (too) self-absorbed; they remain fun and likable. Sure, I'd probably call it a “beach reach,” but I really like beach reads. So, there you go.
It was slow compared to the other books, but I liked it.
I really liked the first couple books in this series. But this needed a lot of editing, and it really seems like Weeks has lost control of his story.
