The Blood Mirror /
(Lightbringer #4)
by Brent Weeks
fantasy
copyright 2016
not read in December 2021
rated 2/10: unreadably bad
To be fair... The writing is fine. The plot is solid. There are distinct characters.
The book is so absolutely nasty that I cannot bear to read it. I managed forty pages then gave up in disgust.
Various people clam to be fighting to defend the empire. They spend more effort fighting and betraying each other. Doesn't matter: the empire is rotten. It should be utterly destroyed.
There are just a few characters who are almost nice. That is, I could care what happens to them. These nice characters may as well be wearing "kick me" signs. They will be betrayed or killed or forced into evil.
Enough. This is just a very nasty book. It does not wrap up the awful series. Do not read it.
