Publisher's summary

Peter V. Brett has won rave reviews for his internationally best-selling novels, including his stunning debut, The Warded Man.

A continuation of his epic Demon Cycle series, The Daylight War features Inevera, the wife of Jadir, who took center stage in Book 2, The Desert Spear. In this heart-stopping installment, humanity continues to struggle against the demon plague - even as survivors hold out hope that the Deliverer will save them all. On the night of the new moon, the demons rise in force, seeking the deaths of two men, both of whom have the potential to become the fabled Deliverer, the man prophesied to reunite the scattered remnants of humanity in a final push to destroy the demon corelings once and for all.

Best book yet!

I absolutely love this series. The first book was awesome, the second book was just slightly less awesome than the first, and this book blew the last two away, surpassing my highest expectations. And my expectations were high. I'm so satisfied I could begin a sentence with the word And without even caring about the grammatical consequences.

Amazing Saga

These books are some of the best I've listened to so far... They are simply captivating! Peter Brett's creativity and dark twists exceeds those of George R.R. Martin in my mind.

Second time listening to this book!

I thought the book was good the first time around. I told my friends and co-workers about it and many of them have now read the series. My second time going through the series reminded me how much I enjoyed the clever plot and characters. This is a must read "again".

Incredible book with a great performance!

An excellent balance of characters with a thrilling plot line. The ending is quite the "cliff" hanger....

Characters make changes. some surprises.
Slower. but I couldn't stop listening. No complaints or parts I needed to fast forward because awkward.

great read.

I saw a review saying this book was boring and had too much dialogue. That is not true. it was a consistently interesting read with politics and fighting both. The political dialogue is necessary as it is the daylight war.

That ending though!!

It took me a long time to get through this book, but it was worth every minute. I can’t wait to hear how the offer explains the working of the mind demons and the corelings environment in future works.

Hooked!

What did you love best about The Daylight War?

Getting a deeper look inside each character without having the story drag.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jahdir (s)

What about Pete Bradbury’s performance did you like?

Perfect storyteller for this series.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Too many to name. No dull moments.

Any additional comments?

Get swept away into an ancient and futuristic adventure full of common yet amazing people. The demons keep coming but the fighting is never predictable or boring.
