I quite enjoyed this one. Thanks to my computer being down for about a week or so it gave me ample time to peruse my to-read pile and decide the direction. I had heard many acclaims on this book with little negative at all so decided to give it a chance even though it went against my mantra of reading a series that isn't complete. But since it is nearly there with only one book to go I gave it a whirl... 
 ...And really glad I did. This was a very interesting and different feel for a fantasy book. In a way one can say its a mingle of horror in some aspect with the demons that stalk the world at night. It's definitely not for the squimish but luckily, I'm not one. There were some moments I wish I could reach through the book and ring the neck of the main character as his obsession was a bit taxing a bit played too many times but in the end I could understand the author's direction. 
 I have to say I liked the three main characters of the story especially Arlen and Leesha. I have read some reviews that called her this "Mary-Sue" type of character and I just didn't see it. In truth, I feel that is a label thrown around way too much and by the definition of some almost every fantasy or book character would fall under such a label. 
 Now the hard part is to go on to book two even though the last installment isn't out yet.
