A review by saschabookishowl
The Black Prism by Brent Weeks

2.0

I found the beginning really dragging and found the luxin really hard to visualize. It just did not appeal to me. Also, I thought the humor was a bit childish, especially the moments when Kip said something out loud that was really stupid/uncalled for. The only character that appealed to me was the Prism itself. Maybe I just had expectations that were waaaay to high, because everyone kept recommending this to me. I also had to return this book so I had to read it really quickly, that didn't help in terms of trying to get into the story. But honestly, if I'd had all the time in the world to read this, maybe I would have bumped the rating up half a star, it wouldn't have made that much of a difference I think.
