Let's be honest; I've been dreading reading this. Why? Because [b:The Night Angel Trilogy|6122735|The Night Angel Trilogy (Night Angel, #1-3)|Brent Weeks|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1237703314s/6122735.jpg|6537338] ended up a broken promise. Good beginning, steady decline in the quali...

In a world where colour is the root of magic, there was a war. The winners and losers aren't obvious and some of the things that are done aren't exactly obviously good things. In this world Gavin Guile is one of the most powerful people. He's fickle and entertaining and he's trying hard to do his...

I truly suspected that I'd fall head-over-heels for the new Brent Weeks trilogy, and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. If you are in the mood for a great and creative magic system in a very well thought out fantasy world that is so thoroughly steeped in action, melodrama, action, crazy mind-bl...

The star is for the magic system, which was cool. And... that is about the nicest thing I could say for this.

This book is green lantern, meets high fantasy, meets awesome. Some of the characters make some questionable decisions that are only made so the author can add some drama to the series for the next book. There was a nice amount of twists you couldn't see coming which is a nice break from the norm.I ...

I bought this book because I loved the Night Angel series and knew I could trust the author to deliver. Weeks is one of those authors you can count on to bring a well written novel full of everything there is to love about fantasy. I wasn't thrilled at first with the idea of just what a Prism was bu...

Not my usual fare. But well paced, humourous and bloody at the right times. Enjoyed it, will seek out the second book. This was a Beyond Reality group nomination for December. I am a little early.high 3/5

So, I loved Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy, so when I heard about this book I knew I had to read it eventually (eventually turned out to be a few years later). Honestly, I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did the Night Angel trilogy, but it was enjoyable. The book tells the story of Kip, an ov...
