The Lightbringer Trilogy

Author: Weeks, Brent
A recent epic fantasy trilogy, but one of the most exciting epic fantasy series the past decade. The Lightbringer has probably the most unique magic system I've seen yet in fantasy, right up there with Brandon Sanderson's Allomancy. This is one series that actually improves more over book two than in book one. There's a hell of a lot of action, magic, romance, coming of age thrown into this series. It's literally a series you can't stop reading once you start.Keep in mind the first book, The Black Prism, was mediocre. Personally, I wrote the series off after reading the first book. For Weeks to redeem himself, book two would have to blow your mind.  And somehow Weeks pulls a rabbit out of the hat in book two and just blows your socks off, putting the series on track for one of the best new epic fantasy series to come out in a decade.
