By: Brent Weeks

Narrated by: Simon Vance

The Blinding Knife: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
Gavin's powers are fading and his end draws near as war rages across the satrapies in the second novel novel of the NYT bestselling Lightbringer series by Brent Week.

Gavin Guile is dying.

He'd thought he had five years left--now he has less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son, and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin has problems on every side. All magic in the world is running wild and threatens to destroy the Seven Satrapies. Worst of all, the old gods are being reborn, and their army of color wights is unstoppable. The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen years ago.

Loving this series

I see other reviews complaining about the soundtrack with the reading, but personally I didn't find it distracting at all. There were several times I caught a music change and only then realized there was any music at all. I was a little concerned when I first realized there would be a soundtrack as I've had issues with other books being almost impossible to follow because the music was so loud and distracting, but I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case with this book.

As for the story itself, I find there are twists and turns happening that I didn't expect along with those that actually we're obvious. I'm looking forward to following the characters further as the series continues and can't wait to see how everything all turns out.

Very different and good

A very unique story of magic that has yet to be told. It got a little bit detailed in areas. I felt like didn’t matter it was still a good story

Best book I've ever read hands down.

Well I burned through the first book in the series a lot faster than I expected to, and this one ups the ante times 10 in every way possible from the first. and it is fantastic. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Like a great wine.

No matter how many times I read this book. Like a great wine it gets better and better. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you for a great adventures.

I loved the
Book and characters, but would omit the music that accompanied the narration. It was distracting and did not add to the story.
