A follow-up to the best-selling The Warded Man continues the adventures of reluctant savior Arlen Bales, who wonders at the identity of a spear-wielding figure that emerges from the desert and leads a vast army intent on a holy war.

I love that we get so many pov’s of all the characters really helps you understand their motivations and character. I especially loved Rojer and Jadir in this book.

           DNF this mysoginistic crap. Too much rape and when a women feels bad for not letting a man rape her I'm out. Fuck this guy.

So basically in this second boook, you get more political intrigue than demon fighting fest and i struggled with this book for a while especially in the first half that dealt with Jardir's life but it still did manage to rouse a whole lot of emotions in me. this second book unlike the warded man brings you closer to what drives most of the characters except probably Inevera. Her intentions like Abban says are opaque. I'm looking forward to the Daylight War mainly to know what her deal is. This is more or less a chance for you to know the characters well and also get disappointed by their behaviour (judging you, Leesha) and also Jardir. can i just say that to me Jardir is still enemy no 1 and a rotten dishonorable person to the core and i honestly hope he gets his comeuppence soon.
Again, as in the first book i honestly did not think we got enough of Rojer in this book. Also surprised when Reena's POV was introduced in the book and well so far so good, she seems like one of the few females with proper sense (still judging you Leesha)
Anyways totally Looking forward to the 3rd Book and getting more answers.

P.S: Was anyone else shocked when a rape or sodomy or incest happened? i honestly wasn't expecting those really dark parts and it totally shocked me when they happened.
