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 underway! Keep up the good work Peter. I'll make another review once I read but I've given a 5 star to the others so I'd anticipate the same this time around!
review 2: So here we are. 4/5. Over half way in The Demon Cycle. To most people this would be time to answer a few questions. Right a few wrongs. All the while whetting the readers whistle for the grand finale. But does PV Brett play by the rules? Does he f***. That is something we've all figured out. On this journey we've seen Arlen ... morewalk a terrible path alone, almost loosing his humanity, only to have it truly returned by Renna. We have witnessed Rojer come into his own as a jongleur, then as a man and most recently as a husband to two wives. Brave man.And we saw Leesha get progressively more idiotic. There have been many other struggles as well.Renna fighting back against a lifetime of abuse to stand tall in the night next to her spouse. Gared learning to think with his empty skull instead of his bulging breeches. Jardir, Inevera and Abban realising that in spite of all the hatred and adultery, they are particularly suited to one another.And then, in all his wisdom, PV Brett brings the two leaders together. Do they set aside their differences to save man kind? Does one cede to the other? Do they try for a partnership? No. Instead HE THROWS THEM OFF A GODDAMN CLIFF!!!Never before has there been such an ending to a book and I have no idea where he's gonna go. The title suggests electrum will play a part in the book as they coated the skull throne with it towards the end if no.3 in order to increase its power. But that was before Jardir became a desert pancake.Even if he does survive, which he has to being the mind hunter, it will be a while before he's fighting fit. Unless he learns to 'mist out' as I like to call it. But that would make the whole end scene of no.3 a giant middle finger to the readers. So I'm thinking while he's out for the time being Arlen will wreak a little havoc amongst the Krasians, some of whom are starting to see HIM as the deliverer. And while that's going on, Leesha and Inevera are going to have issues over Leesha's baby daddy. But they are zhaven so we will see what goes down there. Rojer, as always, will remain on the periphery amusing us as always while Abban works his intrigues between meals of pork and anal intercourse. Then when we reach the end of The Skull Throne, and we are torn between the desire to bask in awe, shred the book in rage, or laugh in shock at where he's taken us, there is one thing that's for certain. PV Brett will have once again raised the game that he himself created, less
