Oh my, such a great read.

I love how Weeks can weave multiple storylines together, and each one of them goes three layers deep in what a character thinks happened, what he thinks the other character thinks happened, what actually happened or what should have happened. Think House of Cards meets fantasy.
In the Lightbringer series Weeks even manages to weave in a whole religion/magic system and dependent culture which is on point.

Definitely recommend if you loved this style of writing from his first series the Night Angel trilogy. If you need to decide whether reading the Lightbringer of the Night Angel trilogy, I would recommend the Night Angel trilogy because I think the ending of that series is magnificent (though heartbreaking).
If you're more the magic - fantasy fan than go with Lightbringer.
But actually don't choose and read both!
