Yilda asked this question about The Black Prism (Lightbringer, #1):

Magic system confusing and "drafting"??? The reader is expected to pick up in the first 30 or so pages all these terms for magic and other stuff Weeks throws in there and you are lost with no glossary. Anyone can bend color? A wight? Classic example of a publisher taking a punt on a weak writer and not understanding actual Magic, good writing without terms and flowering sentences - and where do you go with an omnipotent protagonist and a "bastard" son who is fat?
