The Black Prism - Brent Weeks
Not a review but what I learnt while reading the story-
This is a wonderful example of world building, great detail and descriptions.
Sometimes I am in awe at other writer's imaginations.
It is possible to like the bad guy, who may be the good guy!
Really subtle clues to plot twist work well, keeping the reader wondering and then satisfied
It is possible to write the first book in a series as a complete book in itself
I speed read or skip long descriptive passages- will go back and read all to see how necessary these missed bits are.
It took me a while to get into the rhythm of the story, (maybe because I skipped some?) but once there I enjoyed it immensely.
I love this type of fantasy.
