Synopsis:
Gavin Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: Five years to achieve five impossible goals.
But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

Q: Before reading a sequel, do you reread the previous book?
A: It depends on how long it's been between reading books. Sometimes just rereading my review of the previous book is enough to refresh my memory if I need to.

Sounds like a page turner! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I don't reread previous books. Usually the author does a good job of hitting the high point of previous books and....I just am not interested in rereading - too many books yet to read! AND, your Brent Weeks book sounds intriguing......should I add it to my (too) long TBR?

I just checked my TBR and The Black Prism is already on it - guess I need to actually read it!
