And so ends the saga of the Lightbringer. Overall, I really enjoyed this series. It certainly has some issues. It's a bit cheesy throughout and there are parts that stretch credulity, but it is a solid and entertaining story with characters that you care about. I have a feeling that this final book will be a big disappointment to some people. For me, I could've done without the heavy-handed religious overtones and extreme instances of "deus ex machina" which provided convenient resolutions to some tricky plot points, but I'm not gonna let that ruin my overall enjoyment of the series.

On a side note, just this past Saturday, I was able to meet Brent Weeks at his book signing event in Salt Lake City and I really enjoyed the talk Mr. Weeks gave. Brent seems like a pretty cool and funny guy. He also stayed for over an hour to sign everybody's books. Pretty cool.
