The Desert Spear | Peter V. Brett
23 posts | 49 read | 23 to read
The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. But is the return of the Deliverer just another myth? Perhaps not. Out of the desert rides Ahmann Jardir, who has forged the desert tribes into a demon-killing army. He has proclaimed himself SharDama Ka, the Deliverer, and he carries ancient weaponsa spear and a crownthat give credence to his claim. But the Northerners claim their own Deliverer: the Warded Man, a dark, forbidding figure. Once, the SharDama Ka and the Warded Man were friends. Now they are fierce adversaries. Yet as old allegiances are tested and fresh alliances forged, all are unaware of the appearance of a new breed of demon, more intelligentand deadlythan any that have come before. Now with twenty pages of bonus material, including an exclusive interview with Peter V. Brett

Loved how this epic fantasy is inspired by Muslim history and culture. Really vivid fictional culture and history.

I've heard from several sources that this series doesn't continue as good as it started. But really - what happened here?!

Since I didn't want it to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, I read about 200 pages. But then I asked myself, if I really wanted to spend 800 more pages with Jardir.

Answer: No, I don't. He's just to boring and of no interest to me.

Well, book Nr 2 off my #BookSpinBingo board

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yes, that's way too long to spend with a character who doesn't strike your fancy! 4y

All I keep thinking as I'm reading the first few chapters of this, is how stupid and rotten men can be when they start screaming 'honor'.

The first half of the book was not my favourite but it was a necessary character-building part of the story. It helped me understand why one of the main characters made certain decisions even though it didn't make me like him more because of that. I loved the second half of the book, it was as good as book one. I have to mention the amazing way the characters grow as people throughout the series, it is my favourite aspect of the series.

Book 2 of the Demon Cycle continues the fight against the corelings and gets deeper into the world building. I had to consult the Krasian dictionary from time to time so I can keep in my head who is what 😅 But this is a fantastic follow-up to an awesome debut. On to the next!

TrishB Great stuff 👍🏻 6y

I am really into this series and didn't jump right to book 3 because I have several books I had been waiting for come up.

The first third was slow but needed for the story. The rest is fast paced and action packed. If you like fantasy give these a try!

TrishB Love these 👍🏻 6y
knittedgnome @TrishB me too! They really are great! 6y

I've been so busy over the past week that I've barely had a chance to read!

But it's my birthday tomorrow, and my super sweet boyfriend got me the second book in the series, even though my family has practically installed a book ban on presents for me. 😂

Este livro ensinou-me a compreender que por mais que um acto nos pareça hediondo devemos sempre tentar compreender a pessoa por trás dele. Jardir é um personagem fenomenal tal como os outros três protagonistas que transitaram do último livro.

Reading on the train on way to work. Last shift that I'll have to train it to work.

I'm loving the Second Book in the Demon Cycle series. Kinda of happy that I don't know how i feel about Jadir.

I didn't think I would like this one as much as I did. It starts out in POV of a character I didn't like much in book 1. But you really need this back story to fully appreciate the rest of the story line. So all in all a very good book. Although I screamed WHAT!?!? When it ended 😂

TrishB His books always end with a what!!!! 😀👍 7y

Seekingtardis @Claireluana I finished the first book and instantly started the second. I love this author, he's fabulous! Just like someone else who commented on this! (You!) 😬😬🦄😂 7y
Claireluana @Seekingtardis totally! I've never read a series where the author retells part of the story from different character's perspectives, but it works! 7y

Went downtown to my favourite used bookstore to get book 2 of the Demon Cycle. Because that's what you do
