Narrative Supposing Books The Warded Man (Demon Cycle #1)
As darkness falls after sunset, the corelings rise—demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity. For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards—symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three young survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will stand against the night.

Before I knew what has happened, this book had sucked me in, chewed me, and spat me out. Broken. I expect nothing less from an epic fantasy.Also in the Demon Cycle: 2. The Desert Spear ★★★☆☆3. The Daylight War ★★☆☆☆4. The Skull Throne ★★☆☆☆5. The Core ★☆☆☆☆ (Actual rating: ZERO stars)4.5/5 StarsThe Warded Man is a superbly written debut that every fan of character-driven fantasy must read.I started reading this book without knowing anything about it other than the premise. Its been hundreds of years since the demons returned to ravage the world. The demons only come at night and this situation has left humans isolated in their respective cities and heavily reliant on wards to repel their demonic adversaries. The Warded Man is truly different from what I thought it would be
This is a unique writing style that can be compared to Brandon Sanderson, Tad Williams and Jim Butcher, a dark and extremely cool story told with the elements of badassery and stylish magic. The mixture of classic fantasy elements with perfectly, script-like action sequences and new impulses to classic ideas make it an absolute must-read, one of the best fantasy novels I have ever read. It is not just absorbing, it beams one inside the book and excludes reality like just really good stuff can
The world of The Painted Warded Man (*) is governed by fear. Countless corelings/demons rule the night. Magical wards that keep the demons out also keep the people in. The promise of safety has become their prison. * Sidenote: By the way, what's up with the name change? Is this book a part of Book Witness Protection Program? Why? Being caught out in the open at night equals gruesome death. People in this world hide trembling behind their wards at night terrified of what's out there. Fear
I don't have much to say for this book. I thought the premise was interesting, but there was something about the execution that just didn't grab me. Like Sandi, I found it pretty preditcable and straightforward. Unlike Sandi, I didn't connect with the characters enough for me not to care.The characters I did like the most were secondary - Bruna, Ragan and Elissa, Master Cox - but after they fill their roll to the main characters, we don't see them anymore. This is has it 'should be', as it were,
I've seen this book in my feed for years now, so I finally decided to take the plunge and see what all the fuss was about. And I'm really glad I did because this was a pretty cool story.Ok, in this world there are demons. Hiss! Not the kind that possesses you and turns you into a minion of Satan, though! The kind that come out at night and eat you! RAWR! Alright. So basically these demons (called corelings b/c they come from the core of the earth) rise up at night and wander around looking
