About the Author

Brent Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief stints walking the earth like Caine from Kung Fu, also tending bar and corrupting the youth (not at the same time). He started writing on napkins and, eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats or wear a ponytail.

One of the best examples of modern fantasy that I've read
*FANTASY FACTION on THE BLACK PRISM*

Places Brent Weeks on comfortable footing beside contemporaries like Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, if not a step above
*A DRIBBLE OF INK on THE BLINDING KNIFE*
