good story

Too much back story for my taste. I want to know what's going too happen. Not as iterated in hearing the same story repeated from another characters point of view. Even so, very enjoyable. And great magic system.

Wow, fantasy fans must read!

For all fantasy fans this book and series is a true work of art. I can't wait to be able to finish the journey.

second time!

this was the first time I listened to the book and I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. love this series. very engaging story, lots of action, passion, issues that make you think. characters seem real. a great read or listen!

best

Definitely the best in the series so far. can't wait to see whats next.

starts off slow

power through the first half and it becomes another great book in the series, the narrator does a great job as well.

My Third Visit to the Series.

This is a series that I will return to every couple of years. The story telling, the world building, the romance, even the violence it’s a story of life and the struggle to survive.

awsome.

really wrapped up in the story. can not get enough. i was unable to put this book down. each book has been better than the one before.

Another good story in the Demon Cycle.

I had been highly anticipating the The Daylight War, and mostly was not disappointed. The book gets off to a wonderful start, this time giving you the background story of Inevera, the wife of Jardir. As with the first two books, the story of Inevera draws you in with the tough but enticing life of a girl destined for greatness. Unfortunately, once Inevera's story comes to an end, and the story of The Daylight War begins, the book found itself in the unusual place of not much happening. The middle third of the book drags a little bit as the story of the Hollow doesn't move with the excitement of Inevera's story. It's not a bad thing really, as much of it is meant to give a build up to the ending and future books. The book does pick up at the end finishing with a surprise cliff hanger.

Narrator Pete Bradbury does a good if not great reading. Also, I was put off a little bit by some of the overly descriptive sex scenes. I know this is adult fantasy, but some scenes bordered on pornography. A little more imagination, and a little less descriptiveness would have fared better. Overall, The Daylight War is another good book in the series, and I have enjoyed them all very much so far.

Exactly what I wanted for a 3rd installment

If you could sum up The Daylight War in three words, what would they be?

Fantastic Read!

What about Pete Bradbury’s performance did you like?

Well picked vocal talent. Though I read the first two books, and listened to the 3rd book, I found it not to difficult to listen to after the first 1-3 chapters of getting use to it.

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

If you haven't connected to the characters already, you will after this books. There is some great battles, court politics, and various shannanigans.

Any additional comments?

I loved that this stayed true to this series... This book was a long time in the making, and I was NOT disappointed.

amazing
