![]() ![]() ![]() I am not sure if this is a stand-alone or the first book in a new series. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys epic fantasy. Zaide has some wonderful skills too like controlling the wind and peeling people's skins off layer by layer. ![]() Even when he tosses his eyeballs on the floor - you have to read it to find out why - he is still the best. Kai is the born killer you still have to love. I found myself completely rapt by the main characters particularly Kai and Zaide. Once or twice I found myself confused as to whether I was reading about now or then.Ī lot happens and it is a very difficult book to put down at all. Each past chapter cleverly feeds information to the reader which is needed to really understand the events of the present time. The book is written with alternate sections of the past and the present. ![]() This works for both sides as the demons expand their way of life, and the family members do not die but do acquire super skills. Kai has been part of a scheme whereby demons are brought up above to inhabit the bodies of members of high families. This author has a real talent for writing charismatic main characters (Murderbot comes to mind immediately) and she has done it again with Kai, a demon from the Underworld. I was lucky enough to be able to read an advance copy of this book which is a new epic fantasy from Martha Wells. ![]()
