Summary: A GREAT Book
Review: A stranger on a lone hill, the bad guy right? Not exactly. A awesomly written story of love, betarayel, and death. Cole writes a riviting novel which I highly recomend to fantesy lovers!

Summary: A nice twist
Review: I read this book and I truley enjoyed it, I thought the idea of Demons not being from the pits of hell, winged/chaotic was a good idea and the fact that they thought of humans as disgusting made me think Cole did a great job with this idea, this is a great book, I have read the entire trilogy and this is the best of all 3 to me

Summary: not good
Review: It was the strangest thing, reading this book. Not once while I was reading did I see any relationships or characterizations that made sense beyond the cookie-cutter definitions accorded to fictional characters.

Characters were friends because they (and the book) declared it to be so. Not once did I see any reasoning or backing for any of it.

Romantic relationships were lust-driven and still considered to be love, true love, without any backing of plausible interactions that would indicate a relationship in the works. More like, "I say I am in love, and therefore I am."

A character was pushed to action because someone felt it was his destiny, not because the character felt particularly inclined to do anything.

Utterly bizarre. Everyone remained 2 dimensional.

Other than the mindless of acceptance of how things should be in a fantasy novel, the book isn't so bad. Still, not good.

You'll probably keep reading because you want to find out what happens, but what is the point of reading a book whose prologue tells you what end the book is leading to?

I still want to know what happens next. I'll have to check out the 2nd book from the library.

Summary: Thoroughly Entertaining
Review: Timur Safar (the protagonist) begins out as a naive, trusting young man who graudually matures into his fated station in life. His relationship with a childhood friend, Protarus, is the main focus of this tale. When demons invade their land and threaten the sanctity of Protarus's reign, Safar must come in and aid his long time friend. However, time has distanced the two as well as destiny. This story for me was heartbreaking, maybe it was the music in the background of my room, or the late hour in which I stayed up to finish the book, but I think that it was the touching reality in which Cole described the most painful separation of people who care. This is a must read:)
