Executive Summary: This is probably my favorite book of the series so far, but it ends on a pretty huge cliffhanger.
Audiobook: Pete Bradbury once again does a great job. He's still a bit on the quiet side, but I think he's a great fit for this series. He does a few voices/accents and reads with good inflection.
Full Review
This book is a bit of a blur now. I've read most of this series in the last few weeks, and I've completed the entire next book before getting a chance to write this review.
I think this book had the best world building of the first three. We learn a lot more about magic, the demons and the world at large than the previous two. I'm a sucker for a good magic system, and I really like how Mr. Brett has been expanding upon this one as the series has gone on.
This book also had some really great character development, especially in the flashback chapters. I do feel like Mr. Brett's trying to make yet another character more sympathetic by showing just how awful everyone else around them by comparison is, and that really doesn't work for me. If nothing else I guess I understand them a bit better even if I don't really like them.
One benefit of reading this book late is that I didn't have to wait for the next book to resolve the huge cliffhanger it creates. If you're reading this series at a more leisurely pace, I highly recommend planning to read the next book right after this one.
Overall this series has been really enjoyable, which is likely evident by how quickly I'm tearing through it. This one is my favorite so far, and having finished the next one already, I can say it still remains so. I'm really eager to see how it all ends.
