The Core
The Core | Peter V. Brett
Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett brings one of the most imaginative fantasy sagas of the twenty-first century to an epic close. For time out of mind, bloodthirsty demons have stalked the night, culling the human race to scattered remnants dependent on half-forgotten magics to protect them. Then two heroes arose-men as close as brothers, yet divided by bitter betrayal. Arlen Bales became known as the Painted Man, tattooed head to toe with powerful magic symbols that enable him to fight demons in hand-to-hand combat-and emerge victorious. Jardir, armed with magically warded weapons, called himself the Deliverer, a figure prophesied to unite humanity and lead them to triumph in Sharak Ka-the final war against demonkind. But in their efforts to bring the war to the demons, Arlen and Jardir have set something in motion that may prove the end of everything they hold dear-a Swarm. Now the war is at hand and humanity cannot hope to win it unless Arlen and Jardir, with the help of Arlen's wife, Renna, can bend a captured demon prince to their will and force the devious creature to lead them to the Core, where the Mother of Demons breeds an inexhaustible army. Trusting their closest confidantes, Leesha, Inevera, Ragen and Elissa, to rally the fractious people of the Free Cities and lead them against the Swarm, Arlen, Renna, and Jardir set out on a desperate quest into the darkest depths of evil-from which none of them expects to return alive

Another great fantasy series. Met the author a few times at signings and he‘s a really nice person and he is good to follow on fb 😁

LeahBergen There‘s just something so appealing about a signed book. 🥰 3y
TracyReadsBooks This is SO cool and I‘m a little jelly! I‘ve only read the first couple of books in this series but they are fantastic—I think I have most of them in my TBR…Now I want to dig them out. So nice to hear you‘ve had good experiences meeting Brett—that always makes a signing that much more awesome! 3y
TrishB @LeahBergen I think so too ♥️ 3y
TrishB @TracyReadsBooks it‘s a great series 👍🏻 3y

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 45.

I started reading this series in 2010. Reading this final chapter was fun and also comforting, but I find myself questioning more of the tropes and characterizations than I used to. I think, too, about how epic fantasy is so often a conservative genre, comforting in how it presents a world with simple conflicts. And that feels... more complicated now. I still want that, but I wonder whether it‘s good for me.

This fantasy series is called The Demon Cycle - as it‘s a battle between humans and demons that rise from the earth every night.
It‘s awesome, epic fantasy, brilliantly written. I‘ve met the author a couple of times at book signings and he‘s awesome too - friendly and nice, talks to everyone and let‘s you take pictures. (One here!)
I follow him on fb too and he‘s great!
Anyway - read if you like epic fantasy and big books.

Ah this series, I hate to see you end! What a journey it has been and Brett wrapped it up perfectly. The audiobook was also superb. I love Pete Bradbury, honest word.

I read there's going to be a new book coming in 2020 -- fast forwarding 15 years. I cannot wait!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had to finish last night - read way past bed time. So worth it - a fitting end to the series- long book but not a boring bit in it and all the various sub plots were tied up neatly. Fitting ending. I‘m sad I won‘t get to read about these characters anymore - they are amazing and really strong female characters .

TorieStorieS I bought this one for my dad this year for Christmas (but secretly this is for me to read when he finishes it!)- I am thinking that I may read the whole series again, so this one is enjoyed without any lapses in memory!! 😄 7y
TrishB @TorieStorieS I was going to do that . But have just dived back in instead! I want to know what happens....but know that will be the end! 7y

TorieStorieS Yeah- half of me is tempted to do the same but I think I would regret not re-reading the first ones! This series really took me by surprise! I love it!! 7y

It‘s always bittersweet starting the last book in a series but The Demon Cycle is one of my favorites. Is 30 hours enough?

TrishB I have it ready - but keep putting it off because it's the end 😔 7y
Guildedearlobe Me too. Wanted to be in the right place to take it on. It‘s a brilliant series but definitely not a light easy listen. So much to keep straight. 7y
TrishB Exactly - I'll start when I know I have a couple of days to stay concentrated Enjoy 😀 I met him at a book signing for this one - a nice man! 7y

I have a serious book hangover now...
All the strings and stories get resolved here. I really liked the ending, it was perfect. Although I would like to know more of the world, for example where the demons actually came from.

Seekingtardis Dang, I was hoping that would be answered too!! 7y
