About this listen
This fantastic new recording was released in September 2016 and comes from the acclaimed narrator of The Lightbringer series Simon Vance.
The start of a brand new trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Shadows.
Gavin Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: Five years to achieve five impossible goals.
But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

An excellent foundation to a great series!
Re-reading now that the final book is out. The Black Prism isn't my favourite in the series, but it does an excellent job of establishing the foundation for what's to come. It's narrow in its scope, which I feel hurts it on its own but it's necessary for what follows. Another great series by Brent Weeks, is recommend both this and his Night Angel trilogy for those that enjoy uncomplicated but highly entertaining fantasy.

Very good
This was a very good book. I found it jarring when the topic of rape was brought up, thought it was only mentioned, it didn't seem to fit with the rest of the book.

Amazing Reading
The reader did such an incredible job reading this book. This series is one of my favourites and the unique voices for each character made the story so captivating I’ve been non stop listening whenever I can and have finished the book in just a few days. So good!

Thoroughly enjoyed
Terrific story written by a magnificent author. Narrated perfectly, right speed, pitch and tone all the way through, voice changes are seamless, doesn't try to mimic silly voices for different characters, just changes slightly enough so you know which character is narrating the chapter. Very well done production 🙂😊❤

had my doubts but loved it in the end
very unique story telling with lots of plot twists and blunt foreshadowing creating oh wait moments which make it irresistible
