What book have you been meaning to reread?
So far, I’ve devoted almost 100 hours to listening to Lightbringer. But I’ve ordered the hardcovers and now I want to reread it because there are so many plot twists and you can’t really go back on an audiobook…..
This is the first book in the Lightbringer series and it is awesome. Action takes off early and the characters are excellent. Throw in some twists and betrayals and you’ve got yourself a great fantasy read. The magic in Weeks’ world is very original and well thought out. If you’re a fan of fantasy, you’ll love this series and it starts with The …
This series is wildly impressive. It looks serious genius to create such a epic tale.
You follow a young man who has recently discovered that he’s a mage, but the story is really about the Mage King called a Prism and his spurned love-of-his-life, all while an invading nation begins their siege on the mage realm.
The magic system uses colors to dictate their abilities. It was an interesting concept.
I love this series!
I am always looking for a new book to listen to while commuting to work and my dad recommended this series to me. I jumped right in and enjoyed every minute of it. I always enjoy a good fantasy novel and Weeks delivers here. His world creation is impressive and I was transported to this world of light bending. I look forward to many more books in …
Imagine you are a nobody, overweight kid living in a backwoods town. Imagine this town is part of an empire ruled by magic based on colors. Now imagine you discover you are the illegitimate son of the most powerful man in the empire, the Prism.
Want something different and unpredictable, read this!
A unique fantasy
The Black Prism is the first book I’ve read by Brent Weeks. As a fantasy story, the author has taken a unique and creative approach by using color as the magic system. Maybe it has been used before in fantasy, but if so, I’ve never come across a similar book. Certain individuals in the story can harness light and convert it to …
Brent Week’s Light Bringer is the absolute height of fantasy. If you are a fan of fantasy this is required reading.
A wonderfully different approach to fantasy.
