The Black Prism by Brent Weeks
3.0
Overall a very original and interesting fantasy, although there were a few elements I dislked.
- The action was always really nicely written and engaging, particularly whenever the magic system was involved
- One of the best parts of the book was the world building: the magic system was really interesting to read about as well as versatile and developed.
- The characters were also complex and well developed although I really didn't like the protagonist, sorry Kip I know you mean well but I found you quite insufferable. You're also a mass murderer and don't seem to care all that much.
- It felt like there was something missing?? I just struggled to engage with it, though that might be entirely me instead of the book
- The plot was quite engaging though, lots of betrayal and drama and I'm intrigued as to where it will go, might read the others at some point
