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.

Continuation of a fabulous series

Wow! I just love this series! The down side of this installment is Rena. I can't quite figure out what her point is in the story. She is rather one dimensional and doesn't seem to propel or give depth to the story or the other characters. The other characters continue to grow and interact wonderfully! My only other disappointment is that the next book is yet to be released!

what a series! what a story!

This is the final story in the Demon Cycle. It is a masterwork.
The characters are full, and robust. The struggle between what is good and what is not, is ever expanding and constricting, ebbing and flowing into a believable pattern of events and subsequent conclusions. It all comes together, perhaps a bit to quickly, in the end.
Happy, happy reading. I hope more is to come..

Much better than the first two books.

Great book. I liked the first two well enough. but this one is outstanding!

Likely the best book in the series.

Very easy to listen to. Shot though it as fast as my time would allow.

Just as good as the others

The only reason I didn't give the "story" section of this review 5 stars is because some parts seem to drag on and on and on and on. That is only my personal opinion. I like a little faster pace in a story. However the author does an amazing job in his descriptions. If you are a fan of very detailed writing then this issue will not bother you. I absolutely love this series. I recommend this entire series to anyone. Now I will finish this review so I can download the next book. ;-).

A cliff hanger of an ending

Any additional comments?

I believe this book kept up the quality of the first two books. I brings yet a third prospective to the story of The Warded Man bringing depth to all the main characters. To me it has developed into a well thought out story bringing in a complete story of all the characters. I was disappointed with the Cliff Hanger ending as we have to wait possibly years for the next book to come out.

It Really Could Have Benn Better!!

Really enjoyed this addition, much better than the 2nd book... but still all my points in the 2nd book still apply... too many familiar things with this world... too many....

But liked the development of the worded man and how he is coming with things... enjoyed the development of many characters and there choices...

The ending in this book was good... for some reason I assumed it was the last addition to the series but oh no, there will be more for sure..... wonder how things will be like next.

Again... it could have been much much better book....

Best of the series

There's not much to say, this book is easily my favorite of the series. Author and narrator have done a superb job. Much of the book gives you another point of view to many of the events in book two, and tries to explain and justify the great betrayal.

The last 10 minutes of the book will have you gripping your chair in anticipation. I warn you now that after you read the last sentence you will curse Peter V. Brett for making you wait for book four.

Amazing series

Would you consider the audio edition of The Daylight War to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Arlen. He's an interesting character, not often found in other stories.

Have you listened to any of Pete Bradbury’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have in other books in the series. He does both male and female characters very well. So far, he's the best narrator I have encountered.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh quite a bit, both in mirth and exhumation
