      The graphic audiobooks are pretty great already. Would love some visuals to go with it. Would need a big budget though…

      Similarly, I’m reading through the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks and I think it would be a great candidate for an adaptation. It’s a really good story and the magic is all based on the colour of light which I think would make the special effects pretty easy to create and should also look nice.

        I know I recognise the name Brent Weeks, and I know I remember a magic system based around colour. Does that book start with someone who brings his cloak to life with colour magic? And as you get more magically powerful, you can see more and richer colours?

          No, that’s another Brandon Sanderson book called Warbreaker.

          Lightbringer has people who can do magic, but you have to see the colour in order to start using it. And all the colours do slightly different things as well as affect your emotions.

          Lots of great world building too.

            Thanks.

            I’ve read Night Angel series, that’s where I know the name from. Not the sort of book I’d usually enjoy but I remember good things. I think I’ll add Lightbringer to my list of books to read :)
