Hey everyone! So I was mucking around the other day and happened to start reading Goodreads reviews of The Demon Cycle (spoiler alert: there are a lot of them). Peat’s fans have said some pretty sweet things, so I thought I’d share some of them here.
First up are some five-star Goodreads reviews of the Warded Man:
I was swept along by this story from the very beginning. Generally speaking, it’s a fairly standard fantasy story: terrible thing happens to normal boy; normal boy leaves for adventure; learns secrets; fights the bad guys, etc. But it’s well-written, engaging, with interesting characters and some cool world building. You finish this book feeling like you’ve only just skimmed the surface and that there’s a whole lot more to explore and discover. There were a few moments I took a bit of an issue with, but on the whole it’s an exhilarating yet well-paced story with original characters and an intriguing world. Can’t wait to read book 2! -Sarah
brb Ordering the sequel on Amazon so it’s waiting for me when I get home because it’s THAT GOOD. -Kristi
Leitura SENSACIONAL!!!! Durante o período de leitura, passei duas noites viradas em momentos que simplesmente não conseguia fechar o livro. Mais de 500 páginas que passaram num piscar de olhos. Foi extremamente delicioso acompanhar o desenvolvimento das 3 personagens. As descrições dos locais e das lutas são bastante convicentes. Já estou com o próximo livro, ‘A lança do deserto’, em mãos mas até sair alguma notícia do lançamento do 3º vou segurar um pouco a leitura deste. Sei pelos comentários que se o primeiro já foi ótimo, o segundo é espetacular! -Ana
Best book I’ve read in ages… totally a binge read, couldn’t put it down. -Gerry
I loved this book. I was just browsing around looking for something to read and found this gem of a book. Definitely one of my favourites of the year, I’m trying to space the books out because I want to savour them all but if the rest of the series is anything like The Wared Man then this may become one of my favourite series. -Sean
This book captured my attention right from the start. Arlen’s decent into the Warded Man was intriguing and interesting to read. Loved the characters very much. The world building is great, making you feel like you are actually out in the hamlets and cities. Am about to read the next one in the series, Desert Spear. Go and read it if you haven’t already. -Tarran
These reviews make me so frikken happy. I really enjoy picking through them, so I think I’ll be doing posts for Goodreads reviews on the rest of the series soon. If you want a chance at having your review featured in a post, maybe consider leaving some kind words on there.
In other news, winners of the Warding For Treasure Contest HAVE BEEN CHOSEN! We’ll get in touch and post the results soon.
