Update 10/15/17Re-Read with buddies!This is one of my favorite epic fantasy series ever and upon re-reads, I'm hardly in a position to recant. Especially now. I'm still thrilled as hell. :)I can't quite tell whether I love the magic system or the characters more. I absolutely love the smartass "Kip the lip" fat kid whiner turned badass, but it's Gavin Guile that really steals the show. Has there ever been such a complicated character in existence? Charming, devious, uber-powerful, totally evilI 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
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.

I
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
"Light cannot be chained." To say the Lightbringer series has been on my TBR list for a while would be a huge understatement. A few months ago I noticed the last book in the series was coming out this year, and I knew it was time to finally delve into this once and for all. The setting of this story is a land called The Seven Satrapies. A satrapy is basically a province that is governed by a person known as a satrap. The Chromeria is the ruling body of the Seven Satrapies, and also where all
