Title: The Warded Man
Author: Peter V. Brett
Series: The Demon Cycle Book 1
Synopsis: “As darkness falls after sunset, the corelings
rise – demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred
of humanity. For hundreds of years the
demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters
behind magical wards – symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and
whose protection is terrifyingly fragile.
It was not always this way. Once,
men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are
gone. Night by night the demons grow
stronger, while human numbers dwindling under their relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three
young survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping
beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate
quest to regain the secrets of the past.
Together, they will stand against the night.”
Review: Every once
in awhile a book comes along that I don’t want to end. I just want to keep reading forever about the
characters in stay in the author’s make-believe world forever. Peter V. Brett’s The Warded Man was one of those
novels. I bought this novel on a whim
during my birthday shopping spree (decribed here). I saw the cover of the third book in this
series first and picked it up.
Isn’t it
pretty? I put it back down when I
realized that it was the third book in a series I had not read. But I kept thinking about it, so I went
looking for the first book. Luckily Barnes
and Noble had it. Has anyone else
noticed that they are notorious for not having a full series in stock? Anyway, they had it. I picked it up. I almost purchased the whole series that day
but didn't. Now I am angry with myself. I’m glad I bought The Warded Man, and upset
that I talked myself out of the whole series.
Now I have to wait until I save up some more book shopping money before
I can read the second and third books in this awesome series! Brett sucked me into his world and will do
the same for you. Go read this book!
