review 1: Review by BMR guest reviewer CarlynI don't read a lot of high fantasy books so I was expecting to really struggle with this, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I really couldn't put it down!Valdieron is a simple horse breeders son whose life is turned upside down when trolls attack his village and it is only because of his father that he is able to flee while his village is brought down. He flees to the mountains while clinging to survival and his thoughts on revenge. On his journey he opens a box his father gave him which contains a necklace called the Dragon's Tear and finds an unusual sword which sets him on a monumental quest and has him wondering exactly what of his past is the truth.Valdieron's journey is an amazing one to read. You literary watch as he... more grows into the man he is meant to be and you fall in love with this character. Day also writes a great many supporting characters who are well thought out and integral to the story. The act on sequences in this book are amazing to read and would allow anyone with a half decent imagination to immerse themselves in these fights. When the story came to an end I was already dying to know where the next part of Valdieron's quest would take him so I was very happy to see that the second part of this series was already available to buy.Fans of J.R Tolkien and the Hunger Games books would really enjoy this series. Even if you are not really into fantasy, I wouldn't let the genre put you off, as it is an amazing read for all!I give Demon Gates 5 out of 5 stars
review 2: Demon Gates is a skillfully crafted fantasy novel that fires on all cylinders. It features some of the most vivid swordplay I've read in quite some time, and the plot arc and characterizations are nearly flawless. The only minor quibbles I had with it were related to some decisions made by certain characters and some surprising twists that disappointed me (a sign of how engaged I was in the story). The book begins with some very dark scenes, but the tone gradually lightens as the tale progresses. Still, the danger that the Demons pose is always on the figurative horizon, and after many satisfying pages the reader is left with a strong desire to see how this tale will continue to unfold. The good news is that Book Two is already available! If you're looking for a well-rendered fantasy coming-of-age tale with a generous helping of action then this is a must read. less
