The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett

3.0

3.75
Well this was a let down.
“I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.”

* First, let me get this out of the way... I HATE RENNA TANNER!! and I don’t understand why she is allowed to be in this story. Why wasn’t she killed off and set up as a character-growth moment in a subplot for Arlen?
* AND why the hell is there insta-love plopped right into the center of a 5 book fantasy series!?

I miss the Warded Man.

* Second, the “peasant bumpkin” talk that Renna and Arlen used excessively in this book caused me a level of lividness I haven’t experienced while reading in quite some time.
Sentences like: “You ent done nothin but true by anyone I seen, and we don’t got time for another lick of this nonsense.”
(that hurt to even type out!)

* Third, not enough progression in the story & a lot of buildup to very little pay off.

The only reasons why this isn’t getting a lower rating is because:
1. I love Rojer (he has officially become my favorite)
2. A fan of the world & it’s unique demons
3. Inevera’s past was interesting to learn more about
4. I still want to see how the story continues & ends.
