The end of the world has arrived. Finally.

The Core (Demon Cycle #5) by Peter V Brett

December 31, 2019 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

I’m normally a pretty fast reader, as well as someone who usually wants their fantasy series to continue on forever, but The Core stopped that trend. Taking an almost excruciatingly long two months to slog through, this was partly down to the time of year (work always gets crazier than normal in the lead up to Christmas) but also down to the fact that I was pretty much over this series by the end of the third book. The end point that the series has […]

I’m getting kinda weary of this series now

The Skull Throne (Demon Cycle #4) by Peter V Brett

October 26, 2019 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

We’ve reached the fourth book in the Demon Cycle, and I can’t really tell if I’m really enjoying it anymore. It certainly didn’t help that, despite there actually being some moving forward of plot and some deaths of people that actually matter to the book, The Skull Throne felt to me like a bit of a retread of The Daylight War.  It picks up exactly where it left off, after one of our potential delivers threw himself and his rival off a cliff, and while […]

Two weddings and a shitload of funerals

The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett

October 2, 2019 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

In the third book in the Demon Cycle series, interspersed with flashbacks of Inavera’s life which let us see what’s already happened from a perspective that I couldn’t care less about, The Daylight War sees us treading water a little in the run-up to the eventual face off between humanity and the demons that stalk the land. Ahmann Jardir is partway through his conquest of the west and still has Leesha and Rojer as his ‘guests’ at Everam’s Bounty. While Jardir tries to convince Leesha […]

This series is turning out to be a little addictive

The Desert Spear by Peter V Brett

September 17, 2019 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

The second book in the Demon Cycle series, Desert Spear takes us away from Thesa and into Krasia, the country whose warrior culture has seen them become the only people to have taken up demon fighting and whose leader, Jardir, has taken the Spear of Kaji from Arlen and pronounced himself Deliverer.  As well as being warriors, the Krasian’s are also deeply religious and believe that before they can end demonkind in a Battle Royale, first they must conquer the known world, putting them on […]

Excuse me while I disappear into another world for a while

The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett

September 4, 2019 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

My friend has been pressing me to read this series for a while now, and The Painted Man (apparently called The Warded Man outside of the UK) has made me wonder why I didn’t pay more attention to him before now. It’s been a while since I’ve read some proper fantasy, and this book made me realise how much I’d missed it.  In this world, science and machinery are artefacts of the old world, its knowledge forgotten and its former strongholds now crumbling ruins. The […]
