Book Review: "The Warded Man" by Peter V. Brett



As darkness falls, demon corelings rise — multitudes and giants, strong from fire, wood, and rock, hungry for human flesh. Centuries ago, humans knew magic wards to protect and attack, now human numbers dwindle. Only the men of a single desert tribe, worshipers of theDeliverer, fight back. 

Three young survivors of vicious demon attacks dare the impossible. Arlen, Leesha, and Rojer step beyond the crumbling safety of the few remembered wards in remote rural villages, and risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will stand against the night. - from Goodreads.com

What a great read! I had a hard time putting this book down, as I just had to keep reading to find out what would happen next. Peter V. Brett did a wonderful job of linking the characters together from separate beginnings, and leading them on the start of a great adventure. I found the action moved along well, and descriptions were well written. This is the first book of The Demon War trilogy.
