The Burning White by Brent Weeks

DID NOT FINISH

---

This could have been a decent trilogy but Weeks decided to extend the series by throwing in random world building mid story and pad out the word count with useless descriptions and pointless conversations. Writing descriptions of things that would never be explored in detail. Conversations that merely reinforce character traits that were already described ad nauseum. Then a lot of story lines were resolved in the worst ways possible. What was even the point of Liv's POV? I never enjoyed her segments, AND never got pay off. Another character's POV was completely retconned in book 4. Is there supposed to be a massive pile of moldy bread somewhere? And then there's the textbook Deus Ex Machina. Much of my enjoyment came from Simon Vance's narration of the audiobook, making dull events more exciting than they deserve. The only books I enjoyed in this series were books 1+2. I wish i dropped this sooner.

1.5/5 I'm never reading Brent Weeks again.
