Absolutely loved it. As I was reading I kept getting hints of FFX so it was gratifying to see it mentioned in the afterward.
Book 1 is The Warded Man.
Nah, I've just listened to the audiobook and seen the cover online. Mine hasn't fully shipped yet. They've just made the label.
The cover art is fantastic. So excited for my physical copy.
Yep, already listened to it. Thought it was excellent, one of my favorites.
The Demon Cycle book 2. A lot of real fucked up shit happens but it's not gratuitous in description and the world and characters are interesting. At night humanity is plagued by demons, which seem to be impossible to kill except by trapping them and exposing them to the sun. They're held at bay only by wards, a mostly defensive magic system of glyphs. It's not uncommon for the wards to fail on some way, due to the imperfection of the warder, poor maintenence of the wards, or some mistake to mar them.
It's interesting that most of what I've seen is either your opinion or that it's one of his best, which I feel. I'm curious what it is that really separates us.
