Summary: The greatest fantasy author
Comment: This book, alongside with "The Hidden City" by David Eddings and "A Darkness at Seythanon" by Raymond E. Feist is the best fantasy. Sad, intriguing, full woith action, magic and human drama it must be considered as an icon to the fantasy-genre....

Summary: Where's the love?
Comment: The first two books were phenomenal. But it turns into an emotional and political soap opera in this one.
Pony does some ignorant, selfish stuff in this book... and the elves are a bit self-centered and callous, too. ...
But, the characters, particularly Nightbird, were exceptionally built. More so than the plot... which is why the plot cannot endure, nor do justice to, what occurs at the end of this one (trying not to spoil). The first two books were exceptional reading, but with the anti-climatic end to the third (I was very dissapointed, after hundreds of pages of bad turn after bad turn for the heros), I doubt that Pony's underdeveloped character will hold up in the fourth book.
The saga seems to be turning into something different than what I started to read. And it forshadows four more books full of pain, loss, and sacrifice.

Summary: What will become of Corona?
Comment: I must say that I am not exactly a true fan of the fantasy genre, in that I have read only one other trilogy, that of the works by an Australian author Tony Shillitoe and his Andrakis Trilogy. I must say that they were the first "can't put it down" novels that I had ever read and so spurned an interest in these ficticous tales(He's not the most well known author though I have no idea why however I highly recommend these books to any who might come across them).
Thus I found the works of the Demon Spirit and the Demon Apostle, and found them to be truly the most enthralling story I have come across(As yet I have not read the Demon Awakens but mean to). This thrilling conclusion draws more toward the conflict involved in the politics and religion of Corona, rather than that of the battlefield, as opposed to the second and so I've heard the first one.
Though as enchanting as it is, the disappointment and saddness is also as strong. I grew quite attached to the ranger, almost from the moment he was described in the second installment and was quite supprised that such a strong charater would be elimenated from this saga which is to continue(Ascendance is almost out when I write this). I feel that the remaining characters including Pony after she was unable to control her rage in Palmaris, are not strong enough to continue a solid plot, especially with the evil which lies in the soul of perhaps the most powerful and strongest creature in all of Corona(Imagine if he learned to master both bi'nelle dasada and the gemstone magics!).
Pony for me while she definately has good intentions in mind, at times seems to let rage and anger get the best of her, making her seem rather weak, and that's the difference between her and her husband whose calm head stopped her from getting into foolish situations many times(look what happened when he wasn't there to stop her in Palmaris). The only possible solution to that is perhaps the introduction of new charaters which has to be the plan as well as any enlightenment Pony might find in connecting with her husband spiritually.
It looks like being quite a magnificient adventure and while I anticipate new characters to filter in where the perished left off, I still keep a glimmer of hope that somehow the elvish trained warrior might be restored to life even if it is in the last chapter of the last book of the second trilogy, perhaps with the use of a new gemstone?(Remember the dead chilichunks?) I mean there's got to be some happiness in all that sorrow, and Nightbird's death almost seems to be for nothing in that the evil creature still lives.
