Summary: A WEAK CONCLUSION[?] TO THE TRILOGY
Review: I found this book to be a serious letdown from the first 2 books of the DemonWars Trilogy. It was way too easy for the 'possessed' Father Abbott to quickly turn the holy church into a cross between the Spanish Inquisition and a satanic cult gone amok. Secondly, the temporal authorities were weak characters, one and all. King Danube, a character not developed in the previous two books, is too cowardly and dim-witted to be believable. One would think that after a half a dozen enemies of Father Abbott Markwart conveniently die under mysterious circumstances, somebody would figure something out and do something to counter the evil forces. But, not in this story. In sum, I think Salvatore went overboard with the evil-church-terrorizing-the-masses routine; it got old pretty quick. I also disliked the development of the character Pony. However, it was good enough for me to read cover to cover.

Summary: A GREAT READ
Review: I have read all of Salvatores work and love his Dark Elf series and this trilogy and this book is as good as the best of them. A brilliant plot which just made me keep turning the pages and brilliant characters. After reading all the other reviews about the ending, I must give my opinion. I thought it was a great ending (although at the time I was extremely distraught) as it sets a perfect stage for another great trilogy from this great author.

Summary: Great book, ending shaky
Review: i have read all the demon wars books, and i still think the 1st and 2nd are the best. now dont get me wrong, this was a great book, with the same pull-you-in feel that wont let you put down the book. i liked the way it was ending until the last two pages. i cant belive that happend! and the end of the epilouge was a bit off too, even though it opens the way for morein the series. it would ghet 5 stars if you-know-who hadn't you-know-what

Summary: What can I say? Salvatore does it again.
Review: I know R.A. considers the Demon Apostle his best work, and you know what, I think I agree with him. As usual, he transcends genre by taking on issues so important in our world today. The war within the Church reminds me of the early (and continuing) battle between the Protestants and the Catholic Church. But for the first time in this series, I really got into the characters. And I am glad the focus is shifting to Pony. In terms of the ending, I can see how it might disappoint people; it shocked me! But we will all have to wait and see what happens. I would hardly say the Demon won. It was kind of an Empire Strikes Back ending. I eagerly await the next in the series.

Summary: What will become of Corona?
Review: I must say that I am not exactly a true fan of the fantasy genre, in that I have read only one other trilogy, that of the works by an Australian author Tony Shillitoe and his Andrakis Trilogy. I must say that they were the first "can't put it down" novels that I had ever read and so spurned an interest in these ficticous tales(He's not the most well known author though I have no idea why however I highly recommend these books to any who might come across them).
Thus I found the works of the Demon Spirit and the Demon Apostle, and found them to be truly the most enthralling story I have come across(As yet I have not read the Demon Awakens but mean to). This thrilling conclusion draws more toward the conflict involved in the politics and religion of Corona, rather than that of the battlefield, as opposed to the second and so I've heard the first one.
Though as enchanting as it is, the disappointment and saddness is also as strong. I grew quite attached to the ranger, almost from the moment he was described in the second installment and was quite supprised that such a strong charater would be elimenated from this saga which is to continue(Ascendance is almost out when I write this). I feel that the remaining characters including Pony after she was unable to control her rage in Palmaris, are not strong enough to continue a solid plot, especially with the evil which lies in the soul of perhaps the most powerful and strongest creature in all of Corona(Imagine if he learned to master both bi'nelle dasada and the gemstone magics!).
Pony for me while she definately has good intentions in mind, at times seems to let rage and anger get the best of her, making her seem rather weak, and that's the difference between her and her husband whose calm head stopped her from getting into foolish situations many times(look what happened when he wasn't there to stop her in Palmaris). The only possible solution to that is perhaps the introduction of new charaters which has to be the plan as well as any enlightenment Pony might find in connecting with her husband spiritually.
It looks like being quite a magnificient adventure and while I anticipate new characters to filter in where the perished left off, I still keep a glimmer of hope that somehow the elvish trained warrior might be restored to life even if it is in the last chapter of the last book of the second trilogy, perhaps with the use of a new gemstone?(Remember the dead chilichunks?) I mean there's got to be some happiness in all that sorrow, and Nightbird's death almost seems to be for nothing in that the evil creature still lives.

Summary: Excellent story with many unexpected twists and turns
Review: I read the first two books [Demon Awakens, Demon Spirit] and while they were worth reading, they didn't make me a huge fan of the series. This book changes everything. I'm a "Drizzt" fan from way back [Homeland, Sojourn, etc-excellent, read them!] so am pretty familiar with RA Salvatore's writing style. I'm confident in saying this is the best book he's ever written. The plot is wonderful, the characters are realistic, and the ending will leave you intensely wanting more. Don't wait for the next book to come out to get this one though. Pick it up now!

Summary: Lackluster
Review: I read this book much quicker than the previous book in this series. I will attribute this to 2 things. First, I was hungry for some kind of resolution which the Demon Spirit did not give, and secondly the fight scenes were better. Again, however, I found that the lead characters in this installment are flat, but this flatness does not stop at just the leads; the King of the Land and his court suffer from the same character malaise as do the elves (for which I had high hopes). The worst of it, Pony gets more annoying as the series moves on. She picks up skills ridiculously quick, when it takes the other characters half of their lives to master. This book and its predecessors seem to serve only as a prelude to the next series, which I cannot imagine will offer up anything new. Too many flaws in this series that have not been apparent in Mr. Salvatores other writings.

Summary: The Series Continues Its Descent
Review: I'm a huge fan of the Dark Elf novels, and so I hate to bash R.A. Salvatore, but this time it simply must be done. This is the disappointing "climax" of a series that started out on the right track (or very near it), and from the closing pages of The Demon Awakens to the final pages of The Demon Apostle it's ALL down hill. Personally, I don't like the main characters and I could pretty much care less about their trials and tribulations at this point, thus making this read little more than a joke. Its excruciatingly boring as well in spite of the trademark Salvatore action sequences due to the fact that we're seeing nothing NEW from this author. Goblins. More stupid, cowardly, foul-smelling Goblins who seem to pose a threat to armies but Nightbird and Pony and the tight-nit cast of companions tend to make quick work of these little buggers. This is just trite fantasy to hold you over while you wait for the next Drizzt novel.

Summary: Loved the Book, Hated the Ending!
Review: I've never read a R.A. Salvatore book that I didn't love. His memorable characters and depiction of good vs evil is as good as any author in the fantasy genre. The Demon Apostle brings to a close this excellent trilogy. The ending is very sad though and leaves you wanting for more. We haven't quite reached the ultimate triumph of good over evil. I'm sure he will continue this saga in hopefully the not too distant future.
