I kind of forgot about this series when I saw the release of The Core, but I remembered to have liked the previous books a lot. This one dissapointed though. The Demon Cycle was like a hollywood film series, a lot of action and flash and not much else, which is perfectly fine and they sometimes are just a lot of fun. But they do need an identifying feature, for this series it was a kind of fresh look on the fantasy genre. Only, when that is the only thing setting the book apart, it needs momentum to surprise the reader with increasingly cool flashy ideas and Brett succeeded in doing this right until the previous book. This last one was a proper ending to the series, there was just no "newness", which was the main thing I enjoyed in the series. Also, the slang that Arlen and Renna utter "Ent this, Ent that..." REALLY started to bug me to the point that I shouted at my book for them to start talking normally. It didn't turn out to be nearly as horrid as it started... but I still feel Brett ran out of steam with this series and these characters, and enacted the ultimate revenge on them all in this last installment of the series. Would I recommend it? Probably not... but if you have to finish for posterity, skip the first 148 pages. They literally have nothing to do with the rest of the book.

HTML:New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett brings one of the most imaginative fantasy sagas of the twenty-first century to an epic close. For time out of mind, bloodthirsty demons have stalked the night, culling the human race to scattered remnants dependent on half-forgotten magics to protect them. Then two heroes arose—men as close as brothers, yet divided by bitter betrayal. Arlen Bales became known as the Warded Man, tattooed head to toe with powerful magic symbols that enable him to fight demons in hand-to-hand combat—and emerge victorious. Jardir, armed with magically warded weapons, called himself the Deliverer, a figure prophesied to unite humanity and lead them to triumph in Sharak Ka—the final war against demonkind. But in their efforts to bring the war to the demons, Arlen and Jardir have set something in motion that may prove the end of everything they hold dear—a swarm. Now the war is at hand, and humanity cannot hope to win it unless Arlen and Jardir, with the help of Arlen’s wife, Renna, can bend a captured demon prince to their will and force the devious creature to lead them to the Core, where the Mother of Demons breeds an inexhaustible army. Trusting their closest confidantes, Leesha, Inevera, Ragen, and Elissa, to rally the fractious people of the Free Cities and lead them against the swarm, Arlen, Renna, and Jardir set out on a desperate quest into the darkest depths of evil—from which none of them expects to return alive.

Overall, nothing amazing, but if you’ve reached book 4, this was an adequately satisfying conclusion. ( )
