review 1: Two story lines running in unison, both very compelling. Arlen is learning to use his abilities that are available after the last fight with the mind demon. Jadir is learning to use the tools he has to defend his city. Things are Definitely coming to a head and the book ended wit...

review 1: This is a brilliant read what a great series of books. It captures all the best there is in Science Fiction Fantasy and adds a parallel to today's religious divides and political differences. What a masterful piece of writing with the 3rd book leaving you hang, literally. When I ...

review 1: Not as exciting as the first book, but still very readable. I think perhaps is because I'm a bit over the whole Bedouin/sand warrior/"noble savage" trope and would have liked more focus on Arlen and the North at the start of the book. It felt a bit unbalanced in that respect, how...

review 1: Three stars for the intricate plot (for a short story) and characterization it gave to Abban, though I didn't find it to be particularly enthralling. The deleted scenes were interesting from the standpoint that it gives you an idea of what editors are looking to cut out when they...

review 1: I know I can't be the only one who's annoyed with the title of this book. It's not that it's misleading (the two stories in the book are titled "The Great Bazaar" and "Brayan's Gold"), but the dang stories are published in the other order! Why not just call the book Brayan's Go...

review 1: This book was recommended to me by my roommate. He gave me a short explanation of the plot, and that was enough to capture my attention. I picked it up as soon as I could, and wasn't able to put it back down until I reached the end.The story takes place in a world where corelings...

review 1: This was a good book. It's somewhere between three and four stars for me. I will probably read the next one in the series..but as interesting as it is, I was not drawn to any of the characters overly much. I might have become more interested in Arlen, if we had stuck with his ...

review 1: Man oh man, you have to love it when the second book in a series lives up to the expectations created from the first! This was definitely one of those times. Have to admit, the beginning third kind of threw me for a loop following Jardir around in the present with glimpses into h...

review 1: Brett started this book in an unexpected and jarring place, focusing on Jardir's origins and his perspective of the time spent with Arlen for the first 180 pages. I'll be honest, if was a bit of a bummer at first but I'm so glad in retrospect he chose this route as it helped huma...

review 1: This book is undeniably written very well. The entire series is quite good too. Probably the best thing about this book, which is also a testament to the author's skill, is that he was able to take characters and even the entire notion of the Krasian culture, make me hate them, ...

review 1: I would say there was less to this story than the other Demon Cycle short story, "Brayan's Gold", and for a while "The Great Bazaar" feels like nothing more than a cut section of The Warded Man. However, the ending throws a fun curveball or two which help the story achieve closur...

review 1: The Great Bazaar is a good story and a nice addition to The Warded Man, though it would not work terribly well on its own. Even though it was written after that novel was completed, it still has the feel of a deleted scene, one which reveals a small mystery left open in the orig...

review 1: The first book in this series gave me a thirst for more of Arlen's world and this novella gave me exactly what I wanted and more. I got the graphic audio version of this novella complete with full cast of actors, narration, dramatic sound effects and cinematic music like a 3D mov...

review 1: Haven't actually read this but just wanted an excuse to write how excited I am to read this next novel in the series. Easily my favourite series of the last ten years (along with First Law trilogy). Can't wait. Oh and my arrow tattoo featuring piercing ward design is finally unde...

review 1: Peter V. Brett's best novella to date. A microscopic look at life in the hamlets that comprise Brett's Demon Cycle World-- the interaction between people of different ethnic backgrounds, local town politics and religion, various responses to the fear of corelings. While not neces...
