I actually give this book 3 1/2 stars. I didn't know what to expect from this book, but I ended up liking it. I agree with someone else's comment about the "sex scenes", of which I really only remember there being one plus a rape scene (if I'm remembering correctly), neither of which do I recall ...

The book contains two short stories and two deleted scenes from the first novel of the series. The book also contains a little appendix for the Demon World. The short stories are a good addition to the first novel and I truly enjoyed reading them. They give some more insight into Arlen's way to b...
This book is part of the The Demon War trilogy, but moreso as a fill-in/short side stories way. The first story is The Great Bazaar, which recounts Arlen's time as a Messenger, his relationship with Abban, and leads into how he finds the lost city of Anoch Sun. This was a nice tie-in to the trilo...
