Meanwhile, Gavin has been captured by crazy pirate Gunner, made an oar slave. Without his Prismic abilities, how will he ever get back to his wife and the Chromeria?
It's been a long wait for this follow up to [[The Blinding Knife (Lightbringer 2) by Brent Weeks|The Blinding Knife]], and with everything that's happened in the first two books, I think even the most avid reader could be forgiven for struggling with this for the first few chapters.
But it's not just the overload of characters and the gradual recalling of 'oh yeah, that happened' as you re-immerse yourself in the world - this book starts off slower than its predecessors. I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly, but it took me ages to get into this. Once I'd got past the first hundred pages or so, I started devouring it, as I had done the other two books. I guess with the characters left so disparate at the end of the last novel, it took a while for them to get back together and start moving the narrative forwards at a bit more of a pace.
