The Blinding Knife: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

Gavin's powers are fading and his end draws near as war rages across the satrapies in the second novel novel of the NYT best-selling Lightbringer series by Brent Week.

Gavin Guile is dying.

He'd thought he had five years left—now he has less than one. With 50,000 refugees, a bastard son, and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin has problems on every side. All magic in the world is running wild and threatens to destroy the Seven Satrapies. Worst of all, the old gods are being reborn, and their army of color wights is unstoppable. The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole 16 years ago.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Blinding Knife by Brent Weeks was even better than The Black Prism (and that's saying something!)"—B&N.com

"One of the best epic fantasies I've ever read."—Staffer's Book Review

"The Blinding Knife is a wonderful work of high fantasy with engaging characters facing the perfect antagonists, set in a creatively-wrought and increasingly chaotic world brimful of imaginative magic and interesting politics. Weeks holds fast to the traditions of his genre while adding a compelling new flavor."—The Ranting Dragon

Loving this series

I see other reviews complaining about the soundtrack with the reading, but personally I didn't find it distracting at all. There were several times I caught a music change and only then realized there was any music at all. I was a little concerned when I first realized there would be a soundtrack as I've had issues with other books being almost impossible to follow because the music was so loud and distracting, but I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case with this book.

As for the story itself, I find there are twists and turns happening that I didn't expect along with those that actually we're obvious. I'm looking forward to following the characters further as the series continues and can't wait to see how everything all turns out.

Best book I've ever read hands down.

Well I burned through the first book in the series a lot faster than I expected to, and this one ups the ante times 10 in every way possible from the first. and it is fantastic. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Very different and good

A very unique story of magic that has yet to be told. It got a little bit detailed in areas. I felt like didn’t matter it was still a good story

music was a distraction

music was by far the worst part of the book I will continue without it

Like a great wine.

No matter how many times I read this book. Like a great wine it gets better and better. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you for a great adventures.

Blinding knife

I loved the
Book and characters, but would omit the music that accompanied the narration. It was distracting and did not add to the story.

I'm enjoying the story but...

I really like Brent Weeks style of writing.
And like the voice and tone of the reader.
But I am completely and utterly disappointed with the background music. It is sooo distracting!!! Especially when the from beats. I don't recall anything of this noise listening to the first book.
I wish I could turn off the background music. I know why there is background sound but the made a bad choice!
The music can be so annoying that I have to stop listening and close the app.

Where do I even begin to start...

This is the 2nd in the Light Bringer series. I've already got my manager addicted to this series. He's already to book 5! Got two others that will likely both read it soon too. Amazing book. Incredibly well written. Honestly is inspiring me to want to become a writer myself.

loved that background music score

good books, good reader, and now good background music. it stays in the background nicely, and helps set the mood for me sometimes. well done
