Customer Reviews

My all time FAVORITE series!!!

I purchased this book in 2020. I was so enthralled with this story that I went on to read the entire series in quick succession. Upon completion I proceeded to read Brent Weeks earlier Nightangel series (Which I also enjoyed, but nowhere near as much as Lightbringer). This series is the only series I have ever gone back and re-read in its entirety, ever... Finished my re-read late 2024 and am now anxiously awaiting his next release.

Do yourself a favor and read this series!

This book is wonderfully written adult fantasy. The magic system is very original and the character development is astounding. You should definitely read this book.

This book is incredibly well written. It has a main character that wouldn't normally be a hero and the magic system in this series is absolutely excellent.
