A review by davideatssharks
The Blood Mirror by Brent Weeks

4.0

Not bad by any means, but WTF was that ending. These books are super inconsistent, which is a good thing at times. This book had some mediocre reveals for sure, and a few of them seemed unnecessary; however, some of them were very well executed and played off assumptions the reader held since the first book.

My biggest complaint is that this book suffers from feeling a bit stagnant. We don't move THAT far forward. Its clearly setting up for the final book, and suffers from "middle book syndrome," even though it's book 4. Maybe a more accurate term is "penultimate book syndrome."

Regardless, I think this book is fine, and Weeks has vastly improved since books 1 and 2.

No seriously, what the fuck was that ending though?
