One of the best (and, let’s face it, worst) things about the Internet is that just about anybody has a platform for talking about what they want. The result? A lot more book reviews from people all over the world and book reviews about books that have come out a while ago.
Here I have collected reviews on the Demon Cycle, one review per book. For those of your who have only read the main novels, take a look at the reviews for Peat’s novellas. Read ’em all? Agree with the reviews? Have your review you’d like to share? Let us know!
Or check out this combination Great Bazaar and Brayan’s Gold review on Staffer’s Book Reviews written by Justin. If you haven’t read the novellas yet, this will give you a good idea of what they are all about. The two books will also be released in hardcover in the U.K. January, 2013 just before the release of The Daylight War.
And, just in case your not satisfied, check out the complete reviews by the blog Fantasy Literature. Reviews written by Kat and Bill.
Happy Reviewing!

I absolutely love this new drawing of Jardir and Leesha by Esphorus. I feel like this is exactly how I imagined Leesha; I love her outfit and her bright blue eyes. Jardir is also looking pretty kickass, as well as shiny in all that armor.
Peat and I also love the title of the picture on Deviant Art: Desert Spear Whoop Whoop! Fantastic job!

A while back, Peat did a realtime Twitter interview with SFFWRTCHT where fans could directly tweet him questions and comments. You can view the original transcript from the evening here, but Grasping for the Wind recently posted a cleaned-up version of the interview that reads easily and gets rid of Twitter names and hashtags. The questions range from writing tips to fan fiction. As an added bonus, Myke Cole chimes about a third of the way through about beta reading Peat’s work and who would win during a fight between Arlen and Oscar (the main character from Myke’s book Control Point).
You can check out the full interview on Grasping for the Wind here.

Welcome back! The Tweephole is here to keep you up-to-date with the best and brightest of Peat’s tweets. You can always check out what Peat is thinking in realtime on sidebar.
A spider had set up shop right in front of Brents books in the fantasy section! Sadly, Peat’s iPhone flash was unable to capture the full awesomeness of its web.
- @PVBrett – I had an amazing two weeks in Europe, but it is so nice to finally be home. I think it is 4am Polish time right now.
- @PVBrett – If I could get back every bottle of water I’ve had to throw away at airport security in the last 10 years, I could fill an olympic pool.
- @PVBrett – 186 inserted comments needing attention stand between me and finishing #DaylightWar. 17 days to tend them. Coffee is brewing.
- @PVBrett – Love hearing from readers who enjoy my work and are eager for more, but could do with 30% less playful threats to write faster, “or else”.
- @PVBrett – I get impatience. Gorged on Locke & Key this week. Eager for more, but resisting urge to shake fist @joe_hill to write faster. #worththewait
- @PVBrett – Cassie won the claw game at the pizza place! Didn’t know that was possible: http://t.co/4xeRgS3l
- @PVBrett – Had to skip #WorldCon this year, as I just got back from #PolCon. @MykeCole will have to hold court in my stead.
- @PVBrett – Want: http://t.co/Srgiqaa0
- @PVBrett – Fascination of the abomination: When someone’s facebook posts regularly creep you the hell out, but you can’t bring yourself to cut them out of your newsfeed.
- @PVBrett – Best quote ever: “Cole puts the fun back into fantasy. Not the silly kind of fun, the kind that explodes.” @Mark__Lawrence on Control Point
- @PVBrett – Interesting fact: About 1/3 of the conversations in #DaylightWar are post-coital. #editing
- @PVBrett – ?146 inserted edit comments between me and the end of #DaylightWar. If I keep knocking out ten a day, I will be on time… #editing
- @PVBrett – ?Cassie is mixing Play Doh to make new colors. I think she’s ready for her first Pantone book.
- @PVBrett – Presidential election season: That special time when we are reminded how hopelessly broken our political system and discourse is.
- @PVBrett – Thousands of federal employees are subjected to polygraph questioning & extensive financial background checks. Why not political candidates?
- @PVBrett – Ooooo. I just had a fun idea for a contest.
- ?@PVBrett – 124 inserted comments left to fix in #DaylightWar. Making good progress, but saving the hard ones for last. #editing
- @PVBrett – ?119 edits and falling. Smoothed another burr out of the magic system and cut some needless ceremony. #DaylightWar #editing
- @PVBrett – ?Even the most dried out and crusty Nutella… Is still friggin’ Nutella. #allihavetosayaboutthat
