Ich würde gern das Siegel-Zeichnen lernen. So, wie es Leesha und der Tätowierte Mann können. Sie verbinden viele verschiedene Siegel zu einem komplexen Muster, das Schutz vor allen möglichen Dämonen bietet. Ich finde, Peter V. Brett könnte gemeinsam mit der Künstlerin Lauren K.

Peter V Brett continued his story of the Demon Cycle in The Desert Spear eloquently describing his world and bringing more depth to his characters. I loved the book and can't wait to start The Daylight War. The religious aspects of the story were well established making the reader easily bring compa...

This review assumes you read The Warded Man. This novel is basically in the same vein as the first book, although I must say it begins to crack at the edges. We are treated to several new points of view, which leads to some interesting scenes as we revisit some events from the first book, just l...

The Desert Spear, the second installment in Peter V. Brett's Demon Cycle series, is the best epic fantasy I've read since The Lord of the Rings trilogy (no, the movies most certainly do not count). While more violent than the first book in the series, The Desert Spear furthers the story in the best ...

Hm. This is the sequel to The Warded Man and it's...very different. Much of it is told in flashback form, giving us the stories behind characters we met in the first book. I'm not a big fan of flashbacks and very nearly set aside the book because of that structure. The story itself is compelling, ho...

With one epic fantasy tale looming fresh in my memory, I thought it would be a good time to go back and get some of these other series out of the way so I can clear my reading schedule. I'm bad about starting a series and then not reading all of them together, because I want to vary my authors a bi...

You know... I didn't love the opening. Just because the first book got us well attached to a certain suite of characters and then this one focused on one I was pre-programmed to dislike... so I wasn't interested... I didn't want to like him. And I still don't. Sure, I can empathise with Jadair and a...

I thought The Warded Man was only OK overall; it started well, but ended on a underwhelming note. Brett's a capable writer at the beginning, but then he seemed to lose track of the story near the end. So I'm still on the fence about whether or not to pick up this second installment and continue the ...
