I just don’t think we need to burn it to the ground to do it.” It doesn’t mean our house doesn’t need a thorough cleaning.
It doesn’t mean everything we do is right. “Don’t judge a man by what he says his ideals are, judge him by what he does. It’s satisfying to read about his relationship with Gavin, Andross, Karris, and of course, his friends in the Blackguards. Seeing how much he changed because of the harsh events forcefully put upon him in the previous two books was the highlight of this book, and maybe even for the rest of the series. He’s now physically stronger, he’s considerably more mature, and he’s gradually learning what it means to be in charge of his life and friends. I find this to be quite astonishing Kip has grown a lot since his first appearance in The Black Prism. Almost every major revelations and story progression in this book happened because of Kip.
Although it’s true that in The Blinding Knife Kip had the most perspective chapters to read, even more than Gavin, the story could still be interpreted to revolved heavily around Gavin this isn’t the case in this book. Kip and Teia, in my opinion, are the two central characters in The Broken Eye. Majority of the reasons why I loved The Broken Eye were because of the character developments given to the characters, mainly regarding their storylines, abilities, and motivations. Picture: The Broken Eye by breath-art (Jian Guo)ĭue to the fact that this is the third book of the series, I’m going to refrain from talking about the plotlines to avoid spoilers I would instead talk about why I loved this book. The prophecy of the Lightbringer, Diakoptes, Orholam, the Nine Kings, the Order of the Broken Eye, Paryl drafting, & the Blinding Knife all of these are wonderful and, honestly, needed additions to the series which I’m sure will end up being super important for the remaining of the series. I can’t stress this highly enough, as far as the expansion to the plotline and lore of the series goes, The Broken Eye contained a lot of crucial information surrounding the mythology and secrets that have been mentioned several times in the previous two books.
On my reread, the benefit of hindsight allowed me to witness the hidden breadcrumbs planted into the previous two books that weren’t possible on my first read. I’ve mentioned this before, there aren’t many high-fantasy series with a plotting level that reached what Weeks achieved with this series. The Broken Eye is the third-and the second largest-book in the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks it’s quite crazy to think that this is the third book already and yet I still found myself constantly surprised by the revelations, plot twists, and developments. The Broken Eye is an installment filled with an intense focus on secrecy, revelations, politics, and world-building.
