Once again, Brett brings us a excellent fantasy novel. It had been so long since I read Daylight War (before The Skull Throne was released) that I had forgotten quite a bit of the characters and some of the minor plot points, but it didn't take too long before I remembered why I gobbled up the first three books so quickly.

That being said, I feel like this was the first book of the Demon Cycle series that was a set-up book. Usually this takes earlier in a series, but The Demon Cycle had so many different characters and view points that were introduced that I didn't feel that way in any of the previous three.

Not that this book was poorly written or uninteresting, it is just that the two major characters we've had in the previous books, Arlen and Jadir, are almost minor viewpoint characters here with only a couple of chapters worth of Deliverer action.

Still, this was a great ride and if you loved the previous three you're gonna enjoy this one. Just don't expect too much action on the Demon War front.
