The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett
5.0
So much politics, adventure and scheming!!!!
The highlight of the book for me was probably Arlen’s and Renna’s wedding, which was extremely wholesome to witness. Firstly from the POV that the village had 0 warning and still threw such a good party, and secondly because we see everyone getting along relatively well, and different cultural customs marrying to create a ton of fun.
The stakes are much higher now, with the introduction of mind demons and direct fighting between Arlen, Jardir and a mind demon each. But THAT ENDING THOUGH?!?! The two come to blows and jump off a cliff and for some reason the visual is quite funny.
I loved reading Inevera’s POV of her childhood and perspective on things, and her training as a Dama’ting. It’s kinda hard to reconcile the fact that Inevera and Jardir are actually very well suited, but Leesha is also there and she has great tension with Jardir…. But Leesha’s character arc is kind of questionable. At first, I relished seeing her become more morally grey, but the pregnancy drama is veeeery out of character. Let’s see what happens next.
I actually listened to the latter part of this book, and the audio version does the voices and accents quite a good justice. Overall, very enjoyable sequel, and we’re now gearing up for WAR war.
