A review by vallecillo
The Core by Peter V. Brett

4.0

The end has come.
And I feel sadness from saying goodbye to this characters.
It was a good journey with ups and downs, but after all, a great adventure.

We come back after Daylight War, where Krasian's political system was set upside down in a series of maneuvers, betrayals and backstabbings; where we lost a loved character and where Arlen and Jardir were left behind the curtains for most of the story.

The Core bring them back, on their final kamikaze mission of hitting the demons where it must hurt.
So, what can I say ? It was what I expected, but I feel there is something missing.

This book didn´t bond with me like "The Warded Man" or "Desert Spear" did. It was really good, but I don´t really know why I don´t feel super pumped about it. I think it was the number of plots going on that just made you not to feel to immerse in an specific story.
I had little problems with the beginning too, it was too... sexual? I felt I was reading ¨50 Shades of Demon Cycle".

There were some meetings long coming, that finally happened here. And I was really glad to see that happen.

And finally, the waited conclusion.
That ending reminded me of how Vin ended everything on Mistborn when merging with the "all" and fighting back the darkness. I still hoped Arlen would survive and Jardir were the one sacrificed, but all in all, I´m glad with the way it was done.


It was a great reading. One any fantasy fan should make. Thanks Mr. Brett, for such a good story.
