Description

The nail-biting continuation to the Lightbringer series from New York Times bestseller Brent Weeks.

When does an empire fall?
The Seven Satrapies have collapsed into four-and those are falling before the White King's armies.
Gavin Guile, ex-emperor, ex-Prism, ex-galley slave, formerly the one man who might have averted war, is now lost, broken, and trapped in a prison crafted by his own hands to hold a great magical genius. But Gavin has no magic at all. Worse, in this prison, Gavin may not be alone.
Kip Guile will make a last, desperate attempt to stop the White King's growing horde. Karris White attempts to knit together an empire falling apart, helped only by her murderous and possibly treasonous father-in-law Andross Guile.
Meanwhile, Teia's new talents will find a darker use-and the cost might be too much to bear.
Together, they will fight to prevent a tainted empire from becoming something even worse.

    Totally gripping and full of suspense. Also answers a lot of questions and wraps up a few ties. Fast paced and action packed as expected from Mr.Weeks. Bring on the next book!

  • Solid entry

    This book was a little slower paced than previous installments. However, it provided so much character development and story building that you hardly notice. A unique lore and relatable characters. Great read, cannot wait for next installment!

    The lightbringer series has been absolutely amazing to read totally worth it. I moved on to the light bringer series after reading the night angel trilogy 3 times and i am absolutely in love with all these books

  • Disappointed

    Really, the low point in the series. This book advanced the plot very little while spending an extraordinary amount of time in a meandering discussion of the frustrating sex life of two of the protagonists. Not worth the wait. Weeks could have ended the series in the next volume. I can see two, maybe three more volumes in the future. This is NOT Game of Thrones, for sure.

  • Last page missing on the first two chapters

    Just started back into this series and can't figure out how to send feedback. Reading on an iPhone 7plus and the last page in the book does not complete paragraph/chapter. I think this is more of a technical glitch that needs to be fixed. I did like the brief recap in the beginning as it has been a while since I binged the other 3 books. Revising my stars as rotating fixes the problem for me

    Overall, the book was just ok. There were tons of grammatical errors that made reading the book very challenging. Fire your editor. The whole wife not being able to perform was overplayed and underserving of the time spent on it. Certain characters should only be considered secondary, and limited time should be given. Weeks needs to spend less time reading Martins work and focus on his own story. There's are some similarities between "ASoFI"and "The Light-bringer Series".

    Very disappointing sequel. Too many ridiculous plot twists that alters the story and invalidates the previous three books in the series. The characters are also inconsistent in unbelievable ways. I won't be reading any more books in this series because I no longer care what happens to any of the characters.

  • Incredible writing and story telling

    I am not necessarily a reader who enjoys the fairy tale endings or story lines of most literature. I am also not a fan of all the heroes dying one by one with no effect on the story. (Game of Thrones reference) I have greatly enjoyed reading the last four in this series. The author takes you on a twisting and intertwined story lines that all tie together in startling and unforeseen ways. Very good book and look forward eagerly to the fifth addition to this series. So...... hurry up!
