About Brent Weeks

American author, Brent Weeks, had a very normal American upbringing upon being born in Whitefish, Montana in 1977. He developed a love for literature, which we all know can carry its readers to faraway places, escaping the reality of everyday living. He had a great fondness for Edgar Allen Poe, so his genre of writing was fantasy and mystery.

Weeks first novel, The Girl, was a complete failure, but as he says in his biography, skipping the boring parts, he has written eight best-selling novels. They include The Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer Series for which he won several literary awards, and sold millions of copies. He also had a NYT best seller in his 2012 book, The Blinding Knife.

Weeks graduated from Hillsdale College in 2000 with an English degree. Before being a serious author, he taught briefly and was a bartender. He found his girl, Kristi Barnes, they were married and live in Oregon with their two daughters.

Goodreads review by Bradley on October 30, 2019

There are few books, let alone series, that I would agree to re-read at the drop of a hat. This is one of them. I have so much fun, so much respect for the sheer audacity, the roaring plot-lines, the twists and the reveals, even the funny-ass quips, that I usually ignore or gloss over any ACTUAL probl......more

Goodreads review by Emily on March 25, 2025

EDIT to add: 6 years later, I still can't think of this series without really deep disappointment. Absolutely the WORST ending to any series I've ever read...that's thousands of books. disappointed This series went from what I thought was going to be one of my very favorite series of all times, to som......more

Goodreads review by Bianka on November 14, 2019

What a disappointment. I can't believe it. After waiting for so long for this book, I feel cheated. The three first books of this series were amazing. I re-read them and still get goosebumps even though I could quote entire parts by heart. The characters, the realistic magic system, the political ma......more
