Attention all Lightbringer fans! At the time of writing, there are only 114 days until The Burning White, book 5 in Brent Weeks’ fantastic and colourful series is released.

If you’ve been following the guys over at Orbit Books on Twitter, you’ll have noticed that in the lead up to this release, the Inn and a few other wonderful bloggers and booktubers are taking part in a re-read of the entire series.

The amazing Daniel Greene kicked us off in June with a re-review of book one, The Black Prism, and if you haven’t checked out his video on it yet, we really recommend taking 10 minutes out of your day to do so:

It’ll take something special to follow on from Daniel’s lead, but unfortunately you’re stuck with us. Over the course of July, we’ll be reading The Blinding Knife and sharing our thoughts on Twitter using the hashtag #LightbringerSeriesReRead.

We’d like to invite everyone to join in the re-read with us, even if it’s your first time! Lightbringer is a series which really does seem to have it all: politicking, intrigue, twists and turns, a unique and exciting magic system, engaging high-action fight scenes, badass men and women, and an inspirational coming-of-age character arc.

At the end of July, we’ll be passing the baton over to the incredible Kitty G, who’ll be reading The Broken Eye over the course of August. Our friends over at Fantasy Book Review will then complete the re-reread with The Blood Mirror in September.

And then? We’ll be right up to October, when The Burning White will finally release!

We’re hoping that you’ll consider joining in the re-read and in the conversation on Twitter. For now, it’s time for us to get stuck into The Blinding Knife!
