The Black Prism Audiobook

" Fastic fast-paced book with great character development and a unique original story line. "

" Wow! Action packed to the end. Now I am off to find the next book in this series. "

" To say I was disappointed with this book after reading the Night Angel trilogy would be an understatement. The magic system was overly and needlessly complicated, the plot and characters not very engaging and the world teeny tiny. Typically you would expect an author to focus his attention on at least one particular aspect of his story, sometimes it can be the plot and sometimes it can be the characters or perhaps both. Weeks flits his attention between multiple povs, world building, magic system and anything else you can think of so there is nothing to anchor the reader into what they're reading. There isn't even what you would call a main character just to further prove my point. I'd rather he had stayed in the Night Angel world. "

" Weeks has turned into on of my favorite fantasy authors. I sepecially liked this book because he had a character named Orea! "

" Loved it all the way to the end hope their is a next I want to know what happens to he prism and kip can't wait until then ill just fantasize. To anyone that reads this u should so read this book it is awesome. "

" One of the better fantasy series I've read lately. I also enjoyed Brent Weeks Night Angel trilogy, but I think he is just getting better. This story has rich, complex characters, multi layered plot, and unique use of magic. What's not to like! "

" Interesting premise with the use of light as magic. Pretty quick read and kept my attention throughout. "

" Amazing book! Great read! Good plot, characters, Brent Weeks has an amazing imagination. "

" What a fantastic, refreshingly original take on the genre. Fantastic writing that captured my interest and connected me to the characters. "

" It's another great book that Brent has written. Fascinating fiction book. A must read! "

" For the length of the book (623 or so pages) it was absolutely fantastic and well worth it. There is unmentionable twists and turns, and it is by far one of the most intriguing book I've read this year. I recommend it to those who like fantasy and "magic" I'll call it. "

" In some ways this book reminds me of the Alexandre Dumas book! The Man in the Iron Mask. Weeks has thrown in some color magic and a fumbling, well intentioned, endearing hero. The twist in the story is what pulled me in. I can't wait to find out what happens to Kip. "

" this was a pretty good first-in-series book. It layed everything out and gave you some good action events. Characters aren't as strong as I'd like, but overall very good. "

" Great fantasy! Can't wait for the sequel. "

" This book describes really interesting concept of world of magicians however it is written in such a way that it took me more than a month to finish it. It is not as captivating as it could be. So my only complain is writer style. "

" Fantastical fantasy novel with a very creative magic system. Lovers of fantasy need to add this to their lists! "

" Excellent book. The action doesn't falter and en passant the author manages to fill us in on the politics and intrigue without drifting into long asides of description or flashbacks. Can't wait for the sequel "

" Okay I guess? Super generic and cliché. "

" Another book from the marvelous mind of Brent Weeks "

" Brent Weeks is an amazing author and if you liked his Night Angel trilogy you'll love this one, too. "

" The start of what looks to be another wonderful series from Mr. Weeks. While I am greatly looking forward to the following books in the series, I'll also be glad when the main character grows up a bit more. He was written wonderfully for his age, but my goodness could he get on my nerves! "

" Absolutely awesome. Brent Weeks has this great way of presenting a mature fantasy novel without resorting to copying Tolkien lore. His representation of magic and the world around it is wonderful and innovative. Great read. "

" It was a bit hard to understand at first just because there were new concepts to grasp, but very very good book. I can't wait for the next ones. "

" Really enjoyed it can't wait for the second book. "

" Enjoyed this book a lot. Took a while to get into the story but was very interesting once the characters were developed. Want to read the author's other series which I have heard is even better. "

" The book was phenomenal. It was suspenseful, action-packed, and intriguing. I can't wait for the next one. "

" A great fantasy story that's fast-paced and well-written. "

" Overall a good book but it is a little confusing if you don't pay attention. Brent comes back with another of his high octane works with an interesting plot and good characters. "

" Not as good, in my opinion, as the Night Angel's trilogy but still quite good. The characters were a little hard to relate to at first and it seemed a bit clunky to start. However, the story of Gavin and his brother is quite interesting and there are some fantastic twists in this book. "

" It took me a while to get into this book but once I did I couldn't put it down. Now I have to wait for the next one. "
