On the recommendations page, you might have seen the series land in tier one many years ago, tier three for a short period of time, or that it now has found its final resting place in the tier twos. If you were paying a weird amount of attention to our content and rankings you might have seen things like A thought piece by Will Klein talking about how book one, The Black Prism, taught him not to judge books by their first 4th. The series has been a tumultuous rollercoaster of emotions, both in terms of story and my reviews. Last week saw the release of the fifth and final installment of The Lightbringer series: The Burning White. In those moments, I often find myself asking “were the hours I invested in reading this story worth it?” When I asked this question of The Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks, the answer is a conditional yes. On the other hand, there is a strange comfort when there are books still unpublished – and when you realize that no more are coming, you can be left feeling a little empty. On the one hand, it’s nice to finally know what happens after thousands of pages of build-up and investment. Ending a big series is always an experience that creates a lot of mixed feelings.
