The Broken Eye

Book 3 of Lightbringer

De: Brent Weeks

Narrado por: Simon Vance

As the old gods awaken and satrapies splinter, the Chromeria races to find the only man who might still end a civil war before it engulfs the known world. But Gavin Guile has been captured by an old enemy and enslaved on a pirate galley. Worse still, Gavin has lost more than his powers as Prism - he can't use magic at all.

Without the protection of his father, Kip Guile will face a master of shadows as his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and put himself in power. With Teia and Karris, Kip will have to use all his wits to survive a secret war between noble houses, religious factions, rebels, and an ascendant order of hidden assassins called The Broken Eye.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Weeks has truly cemented his place among the great epic fantasy writers of our time

Brent Weeks is so good it's starting to tick me off

One of the best examples of modern fantasy that I've read

Places Brent Weeks on comfortable footing beside contemporaries like Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, if not a step above

just fucking awesome, great book, great writer

see title :) all the next words are to fill the 15 word minimum, the acknowledgements are fun, don't skip em :)

Slowing down, but still great!

I struggled with this book more than any other. Not because it’s a bad book, but because my beloved Gavin suffers horrifically here, and I just couldn’t deal with it. Weeks, like I’ve said before, is a prose-master, and he can tease apart threads of story that you’d subconsciously been reading throughout this series. I feel like Weeks REALLY got into his stride here in Book 3.

There’s intense character-development here, but there’s also plenty of story to go along with it. We’re quite literally in the middle of the series, so a little drop in pace is expected, but it did not bother me too much. We watch the fall from grace of multiple characters that we’ve witnessed struggle to rise, and it’s heartbreaking and riveting at the same time. And just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, Weeks grins and reveals a sub-dungeon.

I think I’ll take a short break before beginning Book 4, though. Spoiler alert, but I’ll be in my corner, holding my stuffed octopus and mourning Tremblefist.

Excellent story with minor performance flaws.

the story is excellent, but there are some minor performance flaws.. Such as when the narrator suddenly changes the pronunciation of a few names.

I was wondering who this Theya was and why she was so familiar with the crew, then realized it was Tia. Slightly annoying.

omg, you never know what is going to happen next!

Usually i can see what is going to happen based on the build up. sometimes also what the twist will be. But in this book anyone kan die at any moment without forfilling there storyline. No one has plot armor. Feels like the first seasons of game of thrones.

Some times it's so exiting i start to feel dizzy, no other book have made me feel like that before.

Geat book

I wish the reader had another accent, but it's fine.
Great book !! I can't wait to listen to the rest of it
