Hate:
Liv
Zymun
Andross

I wonder if Weeks intended Liv to be a "hate-character" or not.

I HATE THAT I HAVE TO WAIT TILL AUGUST Q_Q

You guys tried the Graphic audio version?
I have terrible eye sight so i prefer audio....Its mindblowing lol :)

Hahaha i hate Gavins father but i also love him as well he is such a bad guy that he is awesome



CANT WAIT ANY LONGER! Just read the first two chapters wish i hadn't..... it only makes it harder :(

32 das left! I am super excited as well! The lightbringer series is my favourite series so far.

By the way, so you think that Zymun is Gavin's or Dazen's son? I mean both is possible.

To refresh my memory of all the characters, the plots and sub-plots before the release of The Broken Eye, I am currently re-reading The Black Prism and then on to The Blinding Knife. I started out trying to pace myself so that I would not finish The Blinding Knife too many days before I got The Broken Eye, but I am discovering things I had forgotten and enjoying the re-read so much I can't slow down!

re-reading is a good idea. I need to do that.

Let me tell you why this book is good and yet at the same time why deep down its so so wrong LOL. The main character if you want to call the main character the main character is living a life full of deceit and lies. The entire cast of minor characters have just as interesting or better story lines than the main character. The family relationships of the major and minor characters tend not to surface or are highly disfunctional. No character in this book is above some fear of retribution for each and everything they do.

The two brothers are both all powerful and you can only have one all powerful brother which starts a war on a magnitude no one has ever seen...People believe that One powerful brother has killed the other powerful brother but secretly is keeping him prisoner for unknown reasons. The mother and father do not have any realtionship at all despite the mother secretly doing good things for the son while the father seems to work against the son at every turn. The son has a love of his life but can't marry her for plot complications I can't even explain here. The son has a bastard child who surfaces and the relationship between those two is unsual and cold. The bastard son acquires a slave unto himself as an act of kindness to save the slave from untold horror.

Do you see the family tree now? Family relationships are disturbing to say the least but I suppose it plays into character development and plot points throughout the book. It is well written, exciting and very well thought out and paced. I have read two of three I will have to finish this series out.

I wrote this review as sort of a joke, but its all in there and all true.
