In a small-town Montana school at age 12, Brent Weeks met the two great loves of his life. Edgar Allan Poe introduced him to the power of literature to transcend time and death and loneliness. Fate introduced him to The Girl, Kristi Barnes. He began his pursuit of each immediately. The novel was a failure. The Girl shot him down. Since then–skipping the boring parts–Brent has written eight best-selling novels with the Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer Series, won several industry awards, and sold a few million books. Brent and his wife Kristi live in Oregon with their two daughters. (Yeah, he married The Girl.) You can contact Brent at brent(at)brentweeks(dot)com or fill out the comment form under the contact tab. He does read all of his emails (the good ones, he'll read two or three times, the little narcissist), and he does reply… sometimes. (If you have questions other people MAY have asked, maybe even frequently, you can live dangerously and check out the FAQ.) https://youtube.com/live/z_ICXu4g5Sc

Brent Weeks is an American author known for his epic fantasy novels filled with intricate plots, dynamic characters, and a deep understanding of human nature. Weeks began his writing career in 2008 with his debut novel "The Way of Shadows," which became a bestseller and marked the beginning of his hugely popular "Night Angel" trilogy. He followed this up with the "Lightbringer" series, which is set in a unique world of magic, politics, and religion, and features an intricate magic system based on color. What sets Brent Weeks apart from other fantasy authors is his ability to create complex, morally ambiguous characters who struggle with their inner demons and face difficult choices. His stories are not just about epic battles and magical powers, but also explore themes such as love, betrayal, redemption, and the nature of power. In this conversation, we go through the many obstacles that any writer faces, and watch carefully because Brent is very realistic about the job, the kind of market is out there, and how tiresome the act of writing professionally can be.  Follow Brent Weeks on IG…  https://www.instagram.com/androssguile/ Check out his website…  https://www.brentweeks.com/

Escucha este audiolibro completo, aquí: https://bit.ly/2XfgtIqNarrado por: Pablo Martínez GugelLa muerte es un arte, y Durzo Blint lo ejecuta a la perfección, sea en una callejuela oscura o en las grandes estancias de palacio. Incluso el poderoso Sa'kagé, la organización criminal que mueve los hilos y los intereses en la ciudad de Cenaria, lo respeta. La vida carece de valor si se ha nacido en las calles, y para Azoth la única manera de escapar a la miseria y el miedo que siempre lo han acompañado es ser temido antes que temer, matar antes de que lo maten. Si quiere sobrevivir, debe convencer a Blint de que lo acepte como aprendiz. Pero aprender a asesinar con el mejor exige más que un duro adiestramiento. Hay que cambiar de identidad. Hay que olvidar el pasado y aquello en lo que se creía. Hay que aprender a moverse como las sombras en un mundo de intrigas donde nobles, plebeyos y criminales son meras piezas en una partida que acaba de empezar. «Levántate, chaval. Es hora de matar.» #penguinaudio #audiolibro #audiolibros #Brent #Weeks #BrentWeeks See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Narrator David Rintoul takes on the complex investigations of odd, unusual, and often inconsequential crimes that populate Alexander McCall Smith's latest parody of a Scandi police procedural. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss how Rintoul's innate seriousness contrasts perfectly with the spate of philosophical dialogue and unending stream of comments and asides. Detective Ulf Varg, who takes himself very seriously, bandies about crimes and motives with his sidekick Blomquist and coworker Anna in the Department of Sensitive Crimes.

Narrator Ali Ahn brings plenty of personality and heart to Emiko Jean's young adult rom-com about a high school senior who has discovered an incredible secret —her father is royalty. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss this fun and sweet story in the spirit of THE PRINCESS DIARIES. Raised in California by her mother, Izumi Tanaka doesn't know her father's name until she discovers it accidentally, and she is shocked to learn he is the Crown Prince of Japan. When Izzy is invited to travel to Japan to meet her family, Ahn's delivery reflects her conflicted reactions to the many unfamiliar customs and expectations—and her handsome bodyguard. Strong-willed Izzy worries she'll never truly be accepted by her father's traditional family. A delightful start to a new series. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

Emma Dabiri narrates her work with the same clarity, thoughtfulness, and directness with which she wrote her guide to go beyond beyond the nebulousness of “allyship” to the action of building coalitions for change.

Narrator Ben Sullivan's strong, clear voice and intentional pacing complement these tales of scientific misdeeds. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss Sam Kean's examination of scientists who disregarded ethics to achieve scientific glory--though hindsight shows that unethical means almost always result in faulty methodology.

Narrator Ben Onwukwe brings out the humor and pathos in Mike Gayle's story of Jamaican widower Hubert Bird, who discovers friendship in unlikely places.

Hubert's daughter, Rose, thinks his life is full of friends and fun, but he actually lives an entirely solitary existence. When Rose announces an unexpected visit, he has to find some fake friends quickly. Hubert's adventures are hilarious and heartwarming, and Onwukwe's depiction of him makes this production shine. Listeners will root for Hubert, rejoice at his newfound friendships, and wish that they, too, could have a cuppa with this lovely man. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

The Blacktongue Thief: By Christopher Buehlman Website: https://gobookmart.com “Hardly since The Lies of Locke Lamora have I been so impressed with a fantasy debut... The Blacktongue Thief is a bonafide instant classic, and I sure as hell can't wait to see what Buehlman comes up with next.”―Grimdark Magazine “Readers of epic fantasy novelists, like Tolkien or Brandon Sanderson, will enjoy this journey, which is by turns fun, magical, or terrifying for the travelers. . . . this title is transporting.”―Library Journal (starred review) “Dazzling. I heartily recommend this one.”―Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of the Farseer Trilogy “Wow! Truly outstanding. I can't say enough about how good The Blacktongue Thief is. Damned good stuff.”―Glen Cook, author of The Black Company “A delight from start to finish. Buehlman takes the well-worn tropes of fantasy and weaves them into a new and vibrant tapestry.”―Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of Blood Song “Fast and fun and filled with crazy magic. I can't wait to see what Christopher Buehlman does next." - Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of the Lightbringer series --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

SPOILER ALERT. We talk about the ending of Harry Potter, but that's over a decade old. So maybe this note is unnecessary. But you have it anyway. Brent Weeks knows a thing or two about ending a story. So when Craig wanted to do an episode all about endings -- why must stories end? what makes a good ending? do authors owe readers an ending? -- it was a pretty easy call to ask Brent to join in.

Hello all, here is the very final discussion on Rhythm of War and the book's end by Brandon Sanderson. That is until the "Brett Bet" episodes hit again or we do a revisit on the book.

We cannot wait to see where the series goes next!

We're back with SEASON TWO!! New Logo. New show format. Same old hosts you know and love. We're going way too deep into the expansive epic fantasy that is Brent Weeks' Lightbringer Series. So buckle your seatbelts, strap on a pair of colored spectacles, and plug your ears through all the plot spoilers.

Simon Vance (@SimVan) has narrated over 1000 audiobooks in his career, with such a diverse range of works, from George R.R. Martin and Steig Larsson's Millennium series (which we discuss), to Brent Weeks and Charles Dickens! He's also focused on getting back in front of the camera as an actor, which we talk about at length because of how much success he's had in audiobooks, and he still wants to explore new territory!   Just a bit of what we cover in this episode with Simon: What he initially studied at University that didn't work out All the twists and turns and decisions that led him to a job at the BBC The weekend workshop that really opened his eyes to being an artist The struggles he faced as an actor when first moving to California Being nervous before starting to record an audiobook His new challenge of getting better as an on-screen actor in film and TV—and so much more!   Simon is wonderfully open about the lack of clarity in his early years, the not knowing, and the challenging relationships. While it hasn't always been easy, he also has some fantastic ideas and insights on what has worked for him along the way! Plus, Simon even shares how he worked on a practically unreadable chapter in Alan Moore's Jerusalem, so don't miss that!   Click here for full show notes and links.

The inaugural episode, Stephen presents The Black Prism by Brent Weeks and Joel tells us all about The Fifth Element by N. K. Jemisin. Please excuse the fact that we hadn't quite figured out how to make our audio sound like it wasn't recorded with a couple of tin cans and some string.

Katie tells Cam he is thinking way too much about breasts in their review of The Black Prism by Brent Weeks. This book published in 2010 is the first book in the Lightbringer series and clocks in at 629 hardcover pages long.
