The Broken Eye by Brent Weeks
795 Pages
"As the old gods awaken and
satrapies splinter, the Chromeria races to find the only man who can
still end a civil war before it engulfs the known world. But Gavin Guile
has been captured by an old enemy and enslaved on a pirate galley.
Worse still, Gavin has lost more than his powers as Prism--he can't use
magic at all. Without the protection of his father, Kip Guile will face a
master of shadows as his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and
put himself in power. With Teia and Karris, Kip will have to use all his
wits to survive a secret war between noble houses, religious factions,
rebels, and an ascendant order of hidden assassins called The Broken
Eye."
This is the third book of the series and like all fantasy series ends with more questions and dangling plot lines promising future books. I liked the book but sometimes I think it is better to wait until a series is finished before reading it. When you have to wait for the next book you forget some of the characters and plots and have to spend time refreshing your memory as you read.
