As the exciting release of The Daylight War draws closer, book bloggers are already posting their reviews. Here are some of the recent ones. Some reviews contain mild spoilers, but the snippets in this post are spolier free!
Nicholas of N.schmiedicker finished The Daylight War in a couple days. Check out his review here.
Brett has not only replicated the success of his previous novels but has surpassed them, creating a nonstop thrill ride to the end. It is mentally exhausting knowing that I have to wait as long as I do in order to get my hands on the next book. Although, I may just have to content myself with beginning the series anew, it’s that good.
Patrick from the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego gives his review of The Daylight War. Peat will be visiting the Mysterious Galaxy on February 20th to do a reading and signing. You can pre-order The Daylight War from the bookstore here.
In the world of The Demon Cycle, humankind use wards to keep the demons at bay. In our world, Brett weaves words to bring that world and the characters within it to life. And live they most certainly do. I just love this series and will suffer along with the rest of you until Brett delivers books four and five of the Cycle. Honest word.
Josh from Fixed on Fantasy has a lot to say about The Daylight War … check out the review here.
The world that Brett has created is rich with detail and innovation and I am itching with anticipation to find out how humans will fare against their enemies from the core!
Tyson from Speculative Book Review talks through The Daylight War character by character. Get the full, non-spolier review here.
The Daylight War was a book that I devoured. It is the best in the series so far … The Demon Cycle is building up to something even bigger and I for one am holding my breath to see where Brett takes us next in the forthcoming novel (tentatively named) The Forest Fortress. Highly Recommended.
In the end, this is probably the best of the whole series. This will be a strong contender for one of the best books of the year, even this early on. Utterly gripping and brilliant.
Check out Peat’s upcoming Appearances to see if he will be doing a reading near you. And don’t forget to catch Peat tomorrow night on the Fantasy Subreddit for his AMA (Ask Me Anything).
Want to know more about Peat’s writing style, how Peat created his demons and the remaining books in The Demon Cycle? Check out his recent SFX interview.
Peat talks about the Demon Cycle after The Daylight War:
Book four is tentatively titled The Skull Throne, and book five is The Core. It’s kind of hard to talk much about them without giving away things from Daylight War, however. Suffice it to say that those who live through the current book will see their problems intensify rapidly in the next. That’s a bit of a cop-out I know, but I hate spoilers! Book six has a working title of Tibbet’s Brook, and will take place in that town. Like the other books I’ve done, this will take place in two time periods, opening up just as Arlen leaves the town in chaos after giving them battle wards, and then weaving back to tell concurrently the life story of Selia Barren and how she came to be Town Speaker. It’s going to be quite a ride.
And if you haven’t checked it out already, make sure you watch the new U.K. Daylight War book trailer:

Five years ago, book blogger Dom made a list of his top 10 must read fantasy books. Dom has now updated the list to include books up to the end of 2012, setting aside some older titles for newer ones. One of the new ones is The Painted Man. The other novels are looking pretty nifty as well. Make sure to check out the list here.
