A review by aleccjohnston
The Blinding Knife by Brent Weeks
4.0
I still haven’t figured out how well I gel with Weeks’ writing style and character work, but any reticence I have with those two areas are MORE than made up for by an incredible magic system and one of the most compelling plots I’ve read in a while.
The only big criticism I have for this entry (which very well may be my own fault as an easily distractible audiobook listener) is that sometimes it feels like there isn’t as much explanation for things as they’re happening in the world and plot. I barely understand the Banes, and they were one of the largest developments in this book.
That being said, one of the biggest endorsements I can give a series is that it has created a craving in me for more. And though I don’t know when, I have no doubt that I will be finishing this series. There is just so much to discover, and the curiosity is killing me.
The Blinding Knife builds wonderfully on the base that The Black Prism created, and leaves so much room for growth.
