About this audiobook
The Blood Mirror is the action-packed new audiobook in the Lightbringer series by international best seller Brent Weeks.
Stripped of both magical and political power, the people he once ruled told he's dead, and now imprisoned in his own magical dungeon, former emperor Gavin Guile has no prospect of escape. But the world faces a calamity greater than the Seven Satrapies has ever seen...and only he can save it.
As the armies of the White King defeat the Chromeria and old gods are born anew, the fate of worlds will come down to one question: who is the Lightbringer?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Again, the meta-plot is great, but the 2 characters that gets the most "on-screen" time, Teia and Kip, are the 2 most BORING and BADLY WRITTEN chars I've read in a while.Badly written because one sentence they are the wisest character in the whole universe, knowing to deal with things like they are veterans of a thousands wars, and the next sentence, they are dummer that a 5 years old.Boring because of the badly written stuff stated beefore, combined with the fact that in most of their chapters, nothing really happens. We get rehash of previous scenes happening again(Master Sharp scenes comes to mind, always the same) I couldn't wait to get over their chapters, and even skipped a couple, without making a dent in the comprehension of the plot(which shows that most of their chapters are completely, totally, utterly useless)The whole series could have been 3 books only, and it would have been fine.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is one of those books that you speed through because you're enamored with one character so you keep reading because you want to read more of his chapters, where normally you might take a break. Not that I don't like the other characters, they just seem less interesting when put side by side with Gavin Guile. I've been having a hard time deciding if these books are 4 or 5 stars, however. Perhaps the gritty darkness to the story keeps pulling me back from a five star rating. Something is, but I can't quite pin down yet what it is. This series is complex and full of twists and turns that I never see coming. I did think there were a few twists that I have to wonder at, if they were planned all along or if they evolved. I'm leaning towards the latter, with kind of throws the flow off just a little, but heck, this was supposed to be a trilogy. Now it's turned into a quintet. I can see why however. There's so much involved in a story like this. I'm very invested in seeing Kip develop more as a character and I love the magic system. I'm so looking forward to more. I just hope it doesn't take forever. It seems to be a theme nowadays for long fantasy series to have years and years last between publications.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed with this book, which is hard for me to admit. The story didn't progress nearly as much as it should have for being such a large book, and I really didn't like most of the characters this time around, especially Kip. Gavin's twist reveal in the prison felt cheap, and for me, it hurt the first two novels.
All in all, this was a transition story to the finale, and it absolutely felt like it. I'm still looking forward to the end, but I'm hoping it's better than this. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not the end of the series and also a bit confusing if read at too long an interval from the first trio. That being said, it's a fantastic book and the author is a good deal more intelligent than some other authors of such series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Despite my slow plodding through this series, it's still highly compelling and interesting. I really appreciated the author's discussion of the troubles of intimacy among a young couple, which are all too real and awkward (this is something I almost never see reflected in fiction). The world building is excellent and I continue to be impressed by the depth of this world. Overall, a good fantasy read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book didn't move like the others, the action wasn't nearly as interesting or exciting, and it feels like it could have been compressed into a book less than half as long without significant losses.
I still read it quickly, Weeks is a good author and the book flows. But I waited until now to read it right before I could go on to book 5 next week, and very glad I did. This one just didn't have nearly enough forward motion in it. A lot of what you discover is backwards motion (things you thought were true that aren't) and side pieces - sex is a real challenge for some people. There was a personal experience there, read the author's note at the end, I get it is important. But while it developed a relationship somewhat, the time spent there wasn't worth while for what it added to the story. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The action picks up in this one as several of the plot lines in this series start to come together. I liked the action and plot in this one better than previous books, as there was less endless political maneuvering and more activity on the part of almost every character. Weeks has created a complex setting and there is a lot of good detail in the book about situations and characters, this series continues to surprise me with the quality of each book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Definitely 4.5, to be honest, 4.75. If not for a bit of pacing drag in the middle, this would be 5 stars.
This is a series that has constantly kept me guessing and has surprised me with every reveal. The character work is excellent and the stories are engrossing.
I hope the last book comes out soon! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fabulous. So many twists and turns and unexpected reveals. Kip has become a great character - I've always liked him but I started to really like him in this book. And I still don't know quite who I should be rooting for, because no-one is perfect in this series and no societal aim is perfect either. Because even the seeming "bad" guys have some admirable aims.I am listening to this via audiobook and Simon Vance is doing an amazing job with it. Straight on to the audio of the final book which is nearly 40 hours but I am really looking forward to.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brent Weeks is a master storyteller. I have been enthralled with the characters,story and magic. The Lightbringer series has indeed brought light to me during the lockdown !
