I hope for improvement but if Lightbringer is long and wanky like Dark Age I can at least pretend that only the original trilogy existed. So, for that reason, I don't want to share my feelings on characters too much because it might give stuff away. I will definitely re-read it many times over while I wait for next and final instalment of this spectacular series. Virginia did not get nearly as much screen time as I would have liked, but her limited story in this book was absolutely fantastic.

And like me, you will laugh, you will cheer, you will gasp, you will stress eat, and you will probably cry.The prose is excellent, the action is top-notch, I loved the directions that most of the characters are going and I’m dying to read the conclusion to the series with Red God. Make no mistake, there are people who are clearly monsters, but they’re interesting and varied monsters. Having different VAs, playing different parts, emphasized the different views and feelings from different characters, through different inflection and cadence. These scenes are so relatable because it makes these giants of war and destruction feel so utterly human. their just too gd believable and puts humanity and all its flaws under a microscope for all of us to bare witness to.

Light Bringer is still able to deliver a lot of emotional punches and the reader curled in a ball of tears. You could easily tell that Audible had been changing some of the mixer settings instead of just letting TGR do his magic like he did in the original trilogy. God i love this series and this book was absolutely amazing but it kills me a little inside at the same time. My emotional investment (and I think the same notion is felt by other Howlers) toward the characters is real. In the end, I finished this book while still on the trip, on a train ride in the mountains of Norway, and spent the rest of that journey reminiscing and silently crying while looking out the window and listening to Pierce Brown's Light Bringer playlist.Light Bringer, while also featuring some epic fights, is I would say more about Darrow's journey back to himself and the message he's fighting for - the man he wants to be.
