I really looked forward to this book after reading The Warded man, but it was a disappointment. The characters were less defined, the story trite at times, had unnecessary sexual violence, and strangely/infrequently incorporated mind demon stuff. Unlike the Warded Man, I kept putting this novel down. Some parts were very good but other areas were ho-hum, been said before in other books, and "well, that was unneeded pages." If I hadn't read the first book, then probably I would rate this one higher since the first book set my expectations high. Giving it a 3 as some parts were good.
