Critic reviews

"Bestseller Weeks keeps the pot simmering with many secrets revealed and much verbal sparring... Weeks deftly moves the pieces around his chessboard, snapping them with assured feeling onto their new squares in preparation for a climactic confrontation."
—Publishers Weekly on The Blood Mirror

"Brent Weeks has a style and immediacy of detail that pulls the reader relentlessly into his story. He doesn't allow you to look away."—Robin Hobb on The Black Prism

"The Lightbringer series is great fun. Nobody does breakneck pacing and amazingly executed plot twists like Brent Weeks."—Brian McClellan, author of Promise of Blood on The Black Prism

"His plot feels like an orchestrated chess match between genius grandmasters."—Publishers Weekly on The Broken Eye

"The Blinding Knife was even better than the The Black Prism (and that's saying something!)"—B&N.com on The Blinding Knife

"Brent Weeks is so good it's starting to tick me off."—Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear on The Night Angel Trilogy

"The Blinding Knife is a wonderful work of high fantasy with engaging characters facing the perfect antagonists, set in a creatively-wrought and increasingly chaotic world brimful of imaginative magic and interesting politics. Weeks holds fast to the traditions of his genre while adding a compelling new flavor."—The Ranting Dragon on The Blinding Knife

"One of the best epic fantasies I've ever read."—Staffer's Book Review on The Blinding Knife

"Weeks manages to ring new tunes on...old bells, letting a deep background slowly reveal its secrets and presenting his characters in a realistically flawed and human way."—Publishers Weekly on The Black Prism

"Weeks has written an epic fantasy unlike any of its contemporaries. It is a truly visionary and original work, and has set the bar high for others in its subgenre."—graspingforthewind.com on The Black Prism

excellent conclusion to an amazing story.

This book did a great job of wrapping up the story and world in which it's taking place without backing itself into a corner. I can't wait to see what Brent Weeks comes out with next. ps. as a Sanderson fan I'm secretly hoping that the 1000 worlds will become another multi series universe like the cosmere.

The best of the series!

This is one of the greatest works of fiction I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The entire series is amazing but the final novel is better than the other three books combined.

Such a good wrap up, but I still want more.

The title says it all, but since I have to write at least 15 words...

What we have been waiting for

Masterfully written. Weeks has to be proud of this one.

- And don't apologise for the Gunner chapters.

Couldn't stop listening, but worth the lost sleep!

Light Bringer is my new go-to fantasy series when I'm referring friends new to the genre. I'm sad the epic is over, but it ended well. I will definitely read it again. Simon Vance is as good as they come.
