A Few Thoughts
Again, I repeat the "Best one yet" review from Dark Age. By the end of Light Bringer all I want is more. The final book, Red God, is supposed to be coming out soon? Hopefully?
One thing that's cool about Light Bringer is realizing just how massive the scope has become. Brown has constructed a truly great space opera from humble 2010s YA tropes.
Slogging through some of the earlier low points ("Bye, Felicia") is worth the investment.

Cover Notes
An iteration on the Dark Age cover. I used a scan of an illustration from Wyst Alastor 1716 by Jack Vance published by Swordfish Islands.
