A review by foolish_shane
The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett

4.0

So I think I liked the 2nd book better but that I liked this book better than the first one. When it started I was disappointed that the author had decided to flashback instead of move forward with the plot. It also seemed strange to "humanize" Enevera after making readers hate her in the 2nd book. I was also disappointed to find out that there was a 4th book. I do like the series but I really thought it was going to be wrapped up in this one.

The ending was extremely abrupt. Especially because I was doing it on audio and there was a preview at the end of another book. So I thought I had another 10 minutes of listening but BAM! it just ended. It gave some closure but definitely didn't finish things.

So that's what I didn't like but there was much more that I did like. Real characters, good writing in a believable (albeit fantasy) world. Every character is distinct and none of them just come off as generic stereotypes. The series is adult but especially this book, there were graphic descriptions of sex but they didn't go on and there weren't too many of them so you never felt like the author was trying to sell books by including a bunch of sex.

So overall this is a solid fantasy series, with a cool setup and some very real characters. It hasn't blown my mind but it's good.
