    This was my favorite fantasy series of all time. It had more heart then a Sanderson type book. The characters were amazing you really felt for them. The magic system was perfect. It was well explained, and had some real creativity to it. I just could not put these books down it was so good and unexpected in all-time favorite for me.

    This book brings the story to a worthwhile close. Filled with emotion and brought to tears on multiple occasions. Leaves enough open that we visit the world again
  • Over the top

    I loved the first four books in this story but I really didn’t like the ending. Perhaps the author felt like he went to far with the misery everyone experienced? It was a lot and I could imagine how he would get out of it all. The ending was way over the top. Everything was so good it was unbelievable and hard to read. However if you are a strongly religious person you might love it.
  • Fabulous reading!

    It’s been years since I read something this awesome. Love how Brent keep me hanging after each chapter wanting more. I’m so sad I finish the series, I think I would reread it to catch all those things I missed the first time.
  • Slower read, good book

    A slower read. Tying up story lines. Cleaning up mythological undertones.

    Not just good, it answered all the questions. I grinned as I was finishing the book and cried! I cried so hard! I absolutely loved all the surprises and usually I can see through to the end of a plot but I was pleasantly surprised by the journey and twists and turns taken to get us there! Let me tell you... Simon Vance is a spectacular narrator! Absolutely strikes the right tone. Doesn’t take you out of your head space, but adds to it! Love Brent Weeks’s works. I am looking forward to the next journey, so there, all the way!

    Awesome ending. Everything comes together after a good what... 7 years?
  • Protracted and disappointing

    I expected some great ah-hah and oh wow moments that revealed mysteries and took the separate plot threads and tied them neatly together...but instead I got a bunch of deus ex machina plot devices and a lot of drawn out character self-discovery. The concept of this series and magic system was good. Like the Night Angel series, the dialogue and character development has always seemed like it was written by a teenage boy but the concepts, the magic, and the building out of the story to an epic scale has always made up for those shortfalls until this last book. For the fifth book of a five book series, I also expected more action than the other books and I got significantly less.
  • Meh-Ok but not worth the wait!

    This was a ok finale to the Lightbringer series. It took a while for the story to get started as the first third of the book was a bunch of psycho-babble musings by some of the characters. The Gavin/Orholam thread of the story was great and I liked the background story of Andross Guile. Overall, it was good but I expected better specifically due to the long wait that Weeks forced his fans to endure.
