much better than the first book

i didn't like the life story of Jardir but I guess it was needed.
the author digs into your emotions and the reader brings it to life.

2nd and Ready for #3

Any additional comments?

I can't say this book was as good as the first cause they are both great. I sincerely hate Corelings! Who is the Deliverer? Anyone, no-one? Beats me, but can't wait to find out if there is one or not.This 2nd book of the Trilogy took some surprising turns. I thought I knew who Arlen (sp?) would choose. Don't know if I know yet. Also thought I knew who/what he was. Again, don't think I do yet. It's a pleasure to 'listen' to a book where the author can turn the tables on you before you can guess what's going on. The people could certainly be real along with the demons, well almost anyway. The dichotomization of the major regions in the book to our East and West world culture is totally believable. How can you dislike a character so much while really liking him/her? No, I don't know either but if you have read the Warded Man & The Desert Spear, continuing on to The Daylight War, you probably already have this conundrum, but what a pleasant one to have.I know that I'm going to be sad when I finish Book 3, but I can't wait to do just that. Then maybe I'll read/listen again. The big war is coming up. I hope my heart can take it. Most of the time I want to tattoo myself all over and go fight in it, the other half of the time I want to hide under my bed and never....go out at night. What a world this would be if we had to contend with the wood, fire, clay, et al demons every night. No, huh uh no way.Great series y'all so go for it is you're still trying to decide on your next series.

Series is managing to get stronger

I've found this series well written overall. Strong primary character definition and so far, no easy way out plot explanations. Definitely worth checking out if you're into fantasy fiction.

There was a desert and a spear 10/10

You will get everything the title promises. Also I giggled a lot, fun the whole time.

Well worth the credit

Excellent narration and a great story. Now on to the next book in the series.

Great story

Loved it can’t get enough!! I’ve read dozens of fantasy series over the years and this one is ranking right up with some of the bests!

Continuation Going Strong

Pete Bradbury needs to really get rid of these long annoying pauses. I've got his name down on narrators I don't want to listen to again, to bad too, he has a great voice. The story line continues wonderfully though and since I bought all three books at the same time I'm on to the conclusion.

Awesome

Couldn't stop listening. Worth the read great character development and flow. I love the way he switched between characters.

Pretty amazing book

I was extremely impressed by this trilogy thus far. Looking forward to getting to the next book. Liking the demon hive concept along with the wards

what is that obnoxious popping noise I hear?

More than once I tested the book on different devices, but some chapters have the most annoying sound in the background behind the readers voice. Its sounds like the mic was not properly set up during the recording is all I came to decide.
