The Burning White marks the conclusion of the Lightbringer story, but not the end of the greater story within the books. It was deceptively easy to sink hours into reading, the relatively short chapters within the massive tome (the edition I read had just shy of 1,000 pages) are easily consumed, leading to “just one more chapter” until it was past midnight and I couldn’t see straight. Similar to the last two books, I tore my way through The Burning White in only a few days, and even had a couple alte nights where it was hard to put the book down.

The adventure of unlikely heroes and forceful players reaches the finale in a remarkably satisfying and powerful way that is a testament to the craft of Brent Weeks. The Burning White, Book 5 of the Lightbringer series, brings the ever-lengthening series to its close.
