Our view
“The Broken Eye” is a long third Lightbringer volume that deepens the lore and starts answering open questions. With Gavin Guile captured and powerless, the weight falls on Kip, Teia and Karris amid a covert war among nobles, rebels and assassins. Some readers find stretches tedious; others grow fonder of the series with every chapter and note that even apparent filler pays off. Its nearly eight hundred pages are for the committed.
