Kadomi reviewed The blood mirror by Brent Weeks (Lightbringer -- book 4)
Review of 'The Blood Mirror' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
As much as I love this series so far, this was my least favorite book so far. Which is disappointing but at least I can pinpoint it to why this is so: Kip. I don't care about Kip. I skimmed his long chapters. It also means I stopped caring about his gang of Blackguards, the Mighty. I find it ridiculous to believe that this teenager from a backwater transformed into a genius tactician and leader beloved by everyone. I especially didn't care about his marriage woes.
With this off my chest, here's things I liked: every Gavin chapter, full of revelations and twists. Seeing Andross Guile turn more into a grey character than pure villain. Teia and her slide down the Order hole. Anything in the Chromeria. Gavin Greyling.
I'm committed to the grand finale next year, and seriously hope that Kip won't ruin it for me.
