Pierce Brown is probably one of the most prolific sci-fi/fantasy authors in current history. Light Bringer does not disappoint and might stand on its own as one of the best in the series. The author is truly effective at creating a fantastic story arch while capturing the emotions of humans in a dark age.

I sobbed for 20 minutes from 90% and onward, even after I finished.  I love these characters. I love their development. I love the relationships they forge with others. I have so many highlighted quotes in these books that bring a smile to my face. Damn you, Pierce Brown.
