good start to a great series

I give this 4.5 stars really. while my least favorite of the series this book is still very good and is made that much better by it's excellent narration. well worth a listen for any fantasy lover.

Really really good!

What made the experience of listening to The Demon King the most enjoyable?

I rarely write reviews, but I can't stop thinking about these books. The story line is excellent. The narrator is exceptional. I'm almost done with the 2nd book and can't stop listening!

A well thought out plot

A well thought out fantasy in a world your dying to live in. really enjoyed

I have listened to this book many times

the characters are relatable and all of them have a intresting role in the series.

Phenomenal

A truly inspiring masterpiece that I can't wait to dive deeper into. Great characters and fluid story telling that tie together in intricate ways.

Good story but a bit slow

I enjoyed this story overall. I won't say what specifically happened but the major plot with the MC and the bracelets he wears took literally the whole book to unfold. It wasn't until the last chapter that particular plot gained any traction. Definitely should have unfolded that more in this book. Was still decent overall though. I'll go ahead and get the 2nd. It's sure to be better.

awesome!

this book was a great read. I could hardly put it down to sleep. staying up late many a night

Wonderful Fantasy with Memorable Characters

Would you listen to The Demon King again? Why?

Yes, Always something you miss the first time.

Any additional comments?

This was a wonderful fantasy with memorable well developed characters who have their own unique personalities. There is a lot of time shaping the world and politics of the setting. The plot is constructed of several subplots that will at some point diverge together. It is fast paced and still able to deliver intimacy with the characters. I thought of it as a combination of Aladen and Eragon. This book 1 does not end at all but just sets up and stops. You are forced to seek out the next book immediately. I recommend to anyone who enjoys a great fantasy.

great start to a fantastic political fantasy

What did you love best about The Demon King?

I do not really know why but I love political fantasies like this series. Probably because of the more intricate world building you get. Also the characters are so well written and intriguing.

What other book might you compare The Demon King to and why?

That is too hard to answer as I have not read any similar novels on this level. The only other political fantasy I can remember is A Song if Ice and Fire but they are nothing similar.

Which scene was your favorite?

The kidnapping and I say nothing more of that which you would all curse me.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Movies destroy good books

Any additional comments?

Carol Manda had done an excellent job narrating and brought all characters to life and made me believe other people helped with the voices (jk) but she brought every one of them too life.

Slow build, but looking forward to the sequel.

Builds rather slowly, but the story is compelling. I wish that the characters had put two and two together quicker. Hopefully this next book can be satisfy that left to be desired.
