The Black Prism by Brent Weeks

I enjoyed the first book in the series. I found the characters entertaining and normal in terms of their interpersonal struggles. At a time when lots of films are depicting superheros whose abilities seem to make them invincible, it was nice to read a story where the hero wasn’t “god-like” and who had flaws and struggles just like the rest of us.

Sensitive Reader Alert: The second book was too violent for me and contained more profanity than I was comfortable with (more use of the F-word). As such, I won’t be recommending this book to people.
