Confusing. I thought this book was confusing. There were a lot of strange names for things and people in here. I was having to guess what most of everything was. If it wasn’t for the glossary of terms I would have been totally lost. I didn’t particularly like the story. It is one of those books that sound good from the description but when you get into it you find out it is not as good as the description suggests. I will not be reading any more of this series.

Great book. I liked the night angel trilogy and this series is a step up from that.

Good stuff. I recommend.

Amazing.. This book is absolutely amazing. A page-turner from start to finish, with complex story lines and huge reveals every other page, you will not sleep when hooked onto this book. I, myself, just finished this book at 1:30 a.m. Last night, and my prom is today and I'm absolutely exhausted. SO WORTH IT.

Very fun read. This series was fantastic! I was not a “reader” before getting into this series. It sparked an interest in reading for the first time in my life. “The powder mage” series is also fantastic!

Some fun stuff, some cringe stuff. Good writing, fun magic system, the main kid is a little in-celly to me. Hopefully it’s a loser to hero story and the author is just making him ultra pathetic at the beginning of his journey

Buy this book!. I discovered Brent Weeks about 6 months ago and blew through The Night Angel Trilogy. Best new series I've read in years. The Black Prism took in to another level. I couldn't put this book down. Memorable and engaging characters, with real world fears and flaws. I'd recommend this book to anyone. If your teetering on the edge of a decision, buy it!!! You wont regret it.

Another great work of fiction from Brent Weeks. If you have read The Night Angel Trilogy, you will not want to miss this new book. If you haven't then you ought to read them, and then read this book too. Brent Week is definitely proving that he is a great writer with vivid imagination and original ideas and can put them into words that will captivate you and transport you into this new world he has created in your mind. Definitely recommended reading for any fantasy fans. And if you are not a fantasy reader, maybe this book will start you on an exciting journey you will not regret.

GREAT READ. if you are looking for fantastic writing, interesting characters, then Brent Weeks will bring it, go buy and read his night angel trilogy as well as this book, then gorge yourself on greatness!

Awe. Wow! Second best book ever after beyond the shadows so excited for more!

The black prism. Book was awesome. Coming from the ninja series this was a slow start, but eventually revealed toe a true gem. Can't wait for next one!

Magnificent. I don’t know what to write, this whole series is absolutely amazing, the world building feels so real. Too many books feel like the world began at the same time the story did, but you don’t get that. There are Magic and characters whose very inexplicability explains the story further.

If you liked the night angel. You will not be disappointed.

10/10 Would Recommend!. This is possibly the best fantasy series I've read (and I'm on a bit of a fantasy kick, so there have been quite a lot). I've read all four available books so far and this series is absolutely mind blowing. The first book was a little slow at first because there are so many characters and there is so much background to be covered, but once it kicks into high gear there are twists and turns throughout the entire series. The world gets bigger with each book and it expands into this beautiful story that covers many aspects of life in the real world (religion, politics, morality and love for example). It's not what I expected, but definitely in a good way. Truly, if you're looking for a good series to get started on, don't hesitate!

Fresh and Fun. Great book! A mixture of Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan’s style of writings. But with even better battle & combat descriptions was very exciting! Has it’s own totally unique magical system that you will find very intriguing. Also, it has a lot of similar aspects to Pillars of Eternity Deadfire.

Read it.. I will be buying the hardcover to add to my apocalypse collection.

🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻. Thanks

Amazing!. This trilogy seems to be just as enthralling as the Night Angel trilogy and I cannot wait until the next book. Great job Brent Weeks!

Black Prism. Wow, enthralling, sweeping epic. Engrossing characters you need to follow. Brent Weeks has written a fun book that you don't want to end. Thank goodness he's written a sequel. Any fantasy lover will love this world. And we've only just begun to learn about it. I want more.... You've got to read this .... come on, it's got a maaa..p

The black prism. This is one of the best books I have read in a while. I can't wait till the next one. Great author

Disappointed. Really kind of a mess. Has some good ideas in parts but doesn't work as a whole. Cliched characters I can live with, but it just wasn't a fun read.

Black prism. Easy to dive in and get lost. Exciting concept, actual interesting characters, great book!

Lightbringer series. Amazing series, couldn’t put down the books till I finished the whole series.

Quite good. It's good! The magic system is ok and the characters are great! It was certainly a page turner

Unique and interesting. It's hard to put a finger on what makes Brent Weeks' writing so hard to put down. One thing I can say for sure is that there are plenty of unique ideas. Moreover, here is an author unafraid to break the norm and reverse stereotypes. I have to say that I did see all the twists coming, but it was a good "hah, I guessed right" sort of feeling.

Wow. Yet another stunning work from Mr. Weeks. A whole new concept but the same feel of the night angel trilogy. An amazing book, can't wait for the next. However long it is, it'll be too long of a wait.

AMAZING!!!. If you havn't picked up on Brent Weeks get off your butt and go get the Night Angel trilogy right after Black Prism. I love this book and can't wait for the next. He makes magic new again.

One of the best from a new author I've read!!!. This book will definitely hold your attention from start to finish. Can't wait for the next.

Read this book!!!. Amazing book. Really liked the night angel trilogy and this is on par. Couldn't stop reading once I started. Had to force myself to turn it off so I could sleep, work, eat, etc.

An interesting idea for a new twist on magic.. After reading this book I find myself wishing that I too could "draft" light into tangible forms. An interesting plot that always leaves you guessing, just like his other works. I feel that The Night Angel trilogy was more for me but still, Brent Weeks is one of my favorite authors. I'm looking forward to the next installments, and find myself hoping that Kip will grow up a little. Pick this book up and get his other works while your at it.

Another great job.. I thought this book was great. Kept me riveted from start to finish. Brent Weeks created a fabulous world in the Night Angel trilogy and I feel these next sets of books will be great as well. A great read.

Letdown of the year. This book was terrible. I respect the author for trying to branch out into a different style, but the experiment was a failure. This books biggest flaw is the ponderous over-description present throughout. There are entire pages of nothing but description, most of which doesn't have any direct bearing on the plot. Details are meant to define and flesh-out a story, but they shouldn't dominate it. Sorry Brent, I loved the Night Angel trilogy, but I will be skipping the next book in the new series.

Awesome yet again. Brent weeks writes like an angle. I recommend This to all sci fi fantasy fans you will love it.
