A good read

This is a great book in the night angel trilogy. This book has depth, complexity and intrigue without sacrificing action, pace or believability. The build up is excellent and the crescendo near the end feels suitably epic.



The narrator is on brilliant form giving a nice rich tone to the book and allowing you to feel the subtle differences in the cultures.



One word of warning - not all the ends will be tied up, and you may like me, be waiting for another series to be written.

Improves as it moves

This is the third in the night angel trilogy. Each one has its own story building on the last and both explaining and entwining new themes. The trilogy is very good and as he last this is the best. If you read Brandon Sanderson you would love these. The plots and the details are very good. At times it does feel a tad YA and there is a thin vein of too overt Christian morality which is a bit irritating- and I’m a Christian. But it doesn’t spoil the magic and the story which I recommend.
I read a review about the reader which said he wasn’t very good. I’m very surprised. He is excellent I sometimes forgot he was reading all the parts. I’m going to buy the book to re read it. Enjoy!

puts into perspective how great lightbringer is

if your going to do world building in a trilogy waiting till the third book to try and expand enough on it to try and invest your reader can be a bit overwhelming and under beak

Amazing conclusion to the trilogy.

I didn't want this book to ever end, and now it has I would like a 4th book added please.
Fantastic narration, put me thru the whole emotional gambit. Thank you.

Greath story and narrator

Great story line, action filled, full of suspense and a slight undertone of emotion/romance.

Narrator changes accents and tone to match different characters and less monotone compared to others.

simply amazing series

ive listened to this series countless times, and its still as gripping and enjoyable as the first time i read the books. simple amazing trilogy.

My favourite book series so far!!!

This is the third time I've now made my through this trilogy but the first time I've listened to it via audible, absolutely loved it and found myself becoming more emotionally invested than when I've read it myself.

I swear the narrator is actually getting worse.

I really struggled with this one. Enjoyed the paperbacks years ago so maybe just the narrator. The guy is terrible and manages to combine aggravating and boring at the same time.

Read this trilogy!

Absolutely fantastic read. I will be buying the physical copies. If you like fantasy twists and turns and emotion then give it a listen. 20 hours for each book but never once feels that long. Absolutely loved this series!

Good, Very good, not brilliant but has potential !

Take this a review of the trilogy not just this book. Overall it takes some starting but when it gets going it is pulls you along. there is the usuall good v bad but that is the points. There is not too much over blown magic and some of the sub stories are good and entertaining as the weve there way together
In my opinion the book has a number of interesting characters and some others that dont really get developed like the people at the chantry that appear from know where towards the end. Overall though it is a good read/listen. The narrator does well to bring the characters to life and the plots twists and turn are quite good.
I ll finish by saying that if you have read The wheel of time (Robert Jordan) and Lord of the rings you may find yourself comparing storylines/characters but it is original enough to make it all worthwhile.
Yes i will read more of Brent Weeks and be keen to follow the characters in future books.
