Gavin Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserve a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: five years to achieve five impossible goals. But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

With Age of Myth, Age of Swords, and Age of War, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan riveted listeners with a tale of unlikely heroes locked in a desperate battle to save mankind from extinction. Now comes the pivotal point. After years of warfare, humanity has gained the upper hand and pushed the Fhrey to the edge of their homeland, but no farther. Desperate to find a way to break the stalemate, the answer lies in the half-forgotten words of an ancient song. Not all legends are of heroes, and not all myths are invented. And sometimes, when you’re desperate enough, you’ll believe in the inconceivable and even seek it out.

But born with a quick wit and a gift for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and slavery, only to fall into the hands of an eyeless priest known as Chains---a man who is neither blind nor a priest. A con artist of extraordinary talent, Chains passes his skills on to his carefully selected "family" of orphans---a group known as the Gentlemen Bastards.

But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom. And Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people.

The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting, and bloody confrontations with ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen’s rule remains absolute, enforced by her dreaded Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, their lone surviving mage, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities, yet holds out.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news.

Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

My Favorite Sanderson Yet
- By Carol on 09-10-17
Publisher's Summary
The nail-biting continuation of the Lightbringer series from New York Times best seller 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.

Filler novel
Marked release date on calendar. Sad that this was a filler novel. No emotional victories small or large, just grinding, plodding, story. This book contains the depth and emotional weight of a single chapter from the other books in the series. Seems like the author wants to drag out the story of such a beautiful story arc. Beyond impressed with the series until now. May try one more but depends on how long until release.

Filler Book.
I have mostly enjoyed the lightbringer series up until now and was exciting to pick this up.
And I have to say after finishing this listen I'm left conflicted. It's not a complete filler book, and there's some interesting revelations.
However unfortunately those are few and far between. Everything relevant could easily have been summed up in a couple chapters.
Probably 80% consists of dialog between 2 or more characters, often with conflicting view points. It's literally chapter after chapter after chapter of this, people "squaring off" with talking back and forth.
So much so that I have the say the pacing really suffers, and remains mostly uninteresting, but I was never overly bored either.
Nothing is this book is griping, intense or all that exciting, it sort of just plods along chapter after chapter.
Hard one to recommend. But I will say if you desperately need something to listen to pass the time, and like the series, this will just be "ok"

Doesn't signficantly advance the plot
I'm a Brent Weeks fan, and I enjoy the Lightbringer series. The series, in my opinion, is absolutely worth listening to.
That said, as far as the storyline goes, this is easily the weakest of the series so far. The plot is not significantly advanced by the events depicted herein, but it does offer up a great deal of character development for Gavin Guile, one of the two main characters. He is revealed to be a far more flawed character than perhaps the reader would have been willing to accept earlier in the series.
It is a long installment, and the events advance only a very short period in that time, but I did feel it was justified by the degree to which Gavin was changed in my perception.
I appreciated the commitment given to developing Gavin's character, but it was also a long wait for this installment, and now it seems an even longer wait for the next to appear.

This is a "could have been great" kind of Novel
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The characters fall apart. Gavin becomes a shell and is poorly written. Kip's story only becomes one of failed coitus (BLAH!). Teia is marginally interesting, but her dichotomy is hypocritical and barely at odds with itself. Liv might as well not be in the book (no one cares for Liv). The poor character development dooms this story.
What was most disappointing about Brent Weeks’s story?
Gavin / Dazen is a failed character. After falling in love with this character in the first two books, Brent sends Gavin into a second-rate character and his trials and tribulations are poorly thought out and petty in their delivery. Andross is a consummate arse and
What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Simon is one of my favorites. He always does an excellent job.
Do you think The Blood Mirror needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes. Put Gavin to rest, spend him as you will, I don't care now.
Any additional comments?
No. I wish I had never found this series at this point. I loved the first two books, and hoped at the end of the third book that the forth would recover, but sadly it does not.

I waited to long to listen.
I read a review earlier on this book that said it was boring and all filler. I want go find that review and down vote it. There are massive plot advancements and bomb shells in this book. Action is a bit lite but dialogue is always deep and excellent. I freaking love this series. Rock on Mr. Weeks.

Great Book
this book was different than the others of the series. It gave so much insight to the characters and to the situation as a whole. The twists are very meaningful to you if you understand what they imply for the characters. excellent job!
