About this listen

 Gavin Guile is dying.

He'd thought he had five years left - now he's got less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin's got problems on every side. As he loses control of his magic, all magic is running wild, threatening to destroy the Seven Satrapies. The old gods are being reborn. Their army of color wights is unstoppable, and the only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen years ago.©2012 Brent Weeks Epic Fantasy Fiction

Critic Reviews

Weeks has truly cemented his place among the great epic fantasy writers of our time
Brent Weeks is so good it's starting to tick me off
One of the best examples of modern fantasy that I've read
Places Brent Weeks on comfortable footing beside contemporaries like Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, if not a step above

This series seems to be better the second time around. Because I know when it gets bogged down with the long drawn out battles, I can faze out knowing I won't miss any actual story line.
I am going to try book 3 fingers crossed that I can do the same with that one as there is a lot of repeating themes in that one.

Better second time around.

I was probably going to not continue the series as I didn’t really like the magic and wasn’t sure about getting behind a fat little red haired kid BUT it was great. Book one is probably all about world building but book 2 is where it comes to life. I really look forward to the rest of the series now. Also, the performance was great! An easy voice to listen to.

Book 2 way better than book 1
