    About this audiobook

    The Broken Eye continues the spectacular Lightbringer series from the New York Times bestselling author of The Black Prism and The Blinding Knife.

    As the old gods awaken and satrapies splinter, the Chromeria races to find the only man who can still end a civil war before it engulfs the known world. But Gavin Guile has been captured by an old enemy and enslaved on a pirate galley. Worse still, Gavin has lost more than his powers as Prism--he can't use magic at all.

    Without the protection of his father, Kip Guile will face a master of shadows as his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and put himself in power. With Teia and Karris, Kip will have to use all his wits to survive a secret war between noble houses, religious factions, rebels, and an ascendant order of hidden assassins called The Broken Eye.

      It was awesome. Can’t wait for the fourth book.<3
    • 5/5
      Amazing Storytelling!

      Brent Weeks' masterful development of both his characters and his fantasy are astounding.

      Brent, if you're reading, please give us another series!
    • 5/5
      Awesome book! Great series, Weeks just keeps producing amazing stories.
    • 5/5
      Wow. I loved listening to this book, even more than the prior two in the Lightbringer series. So many twists. It was so engrossing, that I often felt compelled to listen long after I arrived at my destination. I strongly recommend The Broken Eye and I can't wait to listen to The Blood Mirror--the final book in the series.
    • 5/5
      This series continues to compel me to read through it at an unreasonable rate that it almost makes me glad I found this late enough to binge before the next book in series comes out! The twists! The turns! I can’t stop until I find out what happens next! This story continues to make me question who to root for and praying to Orholam that Kip lands on the right and just side of things.

      At times witty others heartbreaking, and some of the best page turning action sequences I’ve had the pleasure of staying up to late to read I whole heartedly continue to recommend this series! If you go the audiobook route the reader is AMAZING and brings the characters to life!
    • 5/5
      This book brought out all sorts of emotions. Well done Mr. Weeks. Can’t wait for the next one.
    • 5/5
      One of my new favorites! I'm obsessed with sci-fi and fantasy. I have read all of the top 100's list, this is a great read. Refreshing characters, and a page turner.
    • 4/5
      Not quite on par with the Blinding Knife, but still an excellent entry in the series. However, based on the somewhat awkward pacing, something tells me this book was supposed to be the last of the trilogy, but Weeks' publisher pushed to have a couple more pumped out. Still worth the read!
    • 5/5
      O wow!
      The tension of the last third of the book and the ending worth the slow pace of the first half so so much!
    • 5/5
      A little change (I thought anyway) in style, but a great story to be told!
    • 5/5
      The roller coaster of feels and the fast pacing continues from the first two books. This series is worth it.
    • 5/5
      Each boom in the story just gets better. So far this being the third is the best, amazing twists and punches and backstabbingly painful to read, but worth it, every page worth it.
    • 5/5
      great books I hope the 4th one gets put on here soon.
    • 5/5
      I can't remember the last time I stuck with a series this long with this much enthusiasm. The story keeps twisting and turning and the characters keep developing and i can't wait for the next in the series!
    • 4/5
      This one picks up where the previous book left off and really keeps the story going. Weeks puts a lot of work into the plot and the world and it shows, there's a lot here to absorb and it keeps us reading along.
    • 5/5
      I should stop expecting authors to write trilogies.

      You want some gritty realism here and there because we're covering a war and *bleep* happens? You got it.
      You want complicated plot twists that you didn't expect and fantastic depth of characters? You got it.

      I can only dream that someday I would be able epic fantasy write so well. There are few authors I know that can really play the high epic fantasy card. Brent Weeks is one. You will not get lost with "who's doing what?" as you read the book. You probably want to re-read the books from year to year (or hit the wiki, if you read slowly).

      You will not want to put this book down, finish it, and then spend the rest of the time dying for the next one.
    • 4/5
      Really enjoying this series. Lots of twists and turns, complex characters and a very different sort of magic.
    • 4/5
      I think I put off reading this book for so long because I knew it was a lengthy read. Thankfully, it's pretty quick-paced and I found it easier to finish than other, shorter books. Because it had been a little while (years) since I read the previous books in the series, I was surprised how well I remembered the preceding story and the characters' adventures. Overall, a good book set in a fascinating fantasy world. I'm certainly not going to wait as long to dig into the next book.
    • 4/5
      If Mr. Weeks hasn't read a lot of green lantern comics i would be very surprised, but what he has done with this inspiration is what makes this a must read for epic fantasy fans. Brent Weeks has joined my list of authors who i'll pre-order every new book. Whens the next one come out?
    • 5/5
      I continue to thoroughly enjoy this series on audio.
    • 4/5
      I was sent an uncorrected proof printing of this book. No spoilers follow.

      If you enjoyed the previous two volumes Brent won't let you down in this one. Highly recommend this to all his fans. :)



      He had a few lines of dialog that really stood out, one example: "Even the forgiven must pay penance."

    • 3/5
      Storylinr is moving forward, but we begin to notice some pretty big flaws in Brent's writing. First, this book is about Teia and Kip, and the author simply doesn't know what to do with the oter characters. Months seems to pass between two pages, yet it's like nothing happens for Dazen and Liv. Oh, we get some chapters, that always ends up saying "nothing really happening" Second flaw, Kip. One chapter he's acting like the most brilliant mastermind, the next he's a teen frozen by indecision. Completely unbelievable the way it's presented.Third, the writing is full of little thoughts from the protagonists. At first it was funny, but there are so many of them by now that it's getting highly irritating.So, the plot is good, but the quirks of the writing is really starting to get me and my enjoyment of the series.
    • 5/5
      This book was an awesome sequel. There were the usuals: Kick a$$ characters, awesome world construction, plot twists and turns abound, fast paced action, political intrigue...all of those accumulate into an incredibly satisfying read that leaves me begging for the next book. This is definitely a series worth reading
      ...and rereading
    • 4/5
      The Black Prism series has traditionally been a filler for me. I didn't particularily like the first book, but I had just finished another series when the second book came out, so I read it. This time, I had again just finished another series when I noticed that this book was available, so I read it.

      I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. That was probably because of the characters (it was hard to become invested in the characters in the previous books, while they finally got to their senses in this book) and the story, which picked up some speed. Especially the second half of the book got quite interesting.

      I am actually excited for the final book of this series to come out, which was not something I would have expected before reading this book.
    • 4/5
      I thought maybe this was the last book in the series but no. This book brings up even more questions for the series while it answers some of the ones the readers have been waiting for. Beware of the cliffhangers in this series. The last book had one and this one has one too, cliffhangers that leave you second guessing everything you thought you knew. It’s a big series, epic fantasy, so you’re bound to see good development here and we do. It seems like there is a big cast of characters but there’s not too many when you consider that most all have main stories that all tie in together somehow. Definitely read the first two books first. Recommended if you like the epic fantasy genre and big long books/series.
    • 4/5
      Things are definitely picking up in this third book of the Lightbringer series…but is it going to be enough?Obviously, if you’ve made it this far, you’d probably have a good grasp on what’s been happening by this point. Gavin Guile, the Prism who stole his brother’s identity is lost to the open seas, captured and enslaved by pirates with his color sight – and thus his ability to draft – gone. As rescue missions mount, his absence is felt by the entire Chromeria, especially by Kip Guile. Without the protection of his father, Kip is left to face up against his bully of a grandfather alone. With his position in the Blackguard in question and his smart-alecky mouth constantly getting him into trouble, he’ll need all the help he can get to survive the conspiracies and secret power plays between all the factions warring for control.Overall, I think each book in the series is an improvement over the former. I’ve mentioned before how fascinating it always is to see an author’s writing evolve before your eyes, and I think I am witnessing this with Brent Weeks. Of course, there are still the occasional quirks that pop up in his prose which drive me nuts, such as his attempts at humor that often fall flat, or certain word choices (totally a personal thing – and I realize an author can do or say whatever they want in his or her world, but seeing slang terms like “butt” and “booger” in an epic fantasy novel still has this way of grinding my gears). On the whole, however, I still feel Weeks’ style is continuing to become more polished and refined when it comes to his characters and storytelling.It’s all basically coming together, slowly but surely. That said, a part of me still feels this series suffers a bit from a case of the “epic for epic’s sake” syndrome. There are sections in this novel that drag on unnecessarily, and I felt this most keenly at the beginning. Like the previous two installments, I found myself questioning whether things were going to go anywhere, which happened a lot more than I cared for, which has hindered my enthusiasm for this series and kept me from jumping completely on board. In all three books, it always felt like most of the significant developments in the story tended to come towards the end.The parting twist here in The Broken Eye is a great example of how Weeks keeps these books interesting. There are a lot of elements left up in the air now – who’s who on which side anymore? Where do everyone’s loyalties lie? There are many things that aren’t as they seem. I can’t say that the rest of the book held up to this level of excitement and suspense, but getting to this point was worth it, at least.Plus, the magic system based on chromaturgy is expanded upon once again, and I swear it becomes more interesting and unique with every book. I have never encountered anything quite like it before. Magic users in this world can harness light and draft luxin, a substance that can take on unique properties depending on the color it was drafted from. Most drafters are usually sensitive to only one color, and their powers and even their personalities and emotions can be influenced by this. In The Broken Eye, we discover even more new abilities and ways to draft and manipulate the spectrum.I’m also feeling much more sympathetic towards the characters. I continue to be curious about Weeks’ plans for Teia and Karris. They are both developed very well in this book, with tough choices to make and crucial roles to play. I like how each woman has their internal struggles, and that their stories are important to the overall narrative and not just throwaway plot threads. I also felt for Gavin, who is deep into the “hero’s setback” section of his journey. Considering how poorly I thought of him in The Black Prism, it surprises me a little now that he’s become the darling of the series. But seeing as I liked this book more for it, I’m definitely not complaining.Kip, however, is still posing a bit of problem. They don’t call him “Kip the Lip” for nothing. This is where a lot of the author attempts at being clever and funny falter; Kip is simply not endearing himself to me, no matter how awkwardly charming Weeks is trying to make this character come across. I have a soft spot for unlikely heroes, but more often than not, Kip’s antics and clumsy dialogue simply makes me cringe. I never thought it possible that I could feel embarrassment for a fictional character.Now, for the difficult part. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I will continue with this series. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve been enjoying these books. True, my excitement might not be through the roof or anything, but I like them just fine. But with my reading time at a premium and the to-read list continuing to grow, it’s hard to justify all that with “I like them just fine” or the 3-3.5 star ratings I’ve given for each book in the series. If I also didn’t have to take page count into consideration this would have been a no-brainer since I hate giving up on a series, especially one that shows a lot of promise, but these are undeniably large tomes. On the other hand, I’m aware Lightbringer will also end at four books, so if that stands, I’ll probably go ahead and finish it up with The Blood Mirror. We shall see once we get closer to publication.
