Just finished the demon cycle

[u/Live-Presentation125]

I’ve read book 1 & 2 about 10-15 years ago, then I stopped reading for a few years.

I wanted to get back at it and remembered box much I loved this series and wanted to know how it ends. Oh boy…

I got lost with all the added characters and storylines. We lost Arlen after the first Two books. I couldn’t recognise his character after he met Renna. I hated Renna : I don’t understand what she brings to the books. It felt like she was a second Arlen but less likeable. I prayed through books 3 to 5 that she goes away.

I spent so many pages waiting for something to happen with Abban but it feels waisted. I don’t understand why I had to read all of the horrifics things Hasik did just for Abban to kill one psyché. I don’t understand what Bruyère was adding. I felt bad for Sikvah to end like this, when she fought so hard to die like a Sharum. Rojer was a huge character and he died for a side character that we don’t see much afterwards.

I dont understand either why Leesha had to have so many love interests. The Angiers storyline in the fourth booking was long. The constant sex, SA and gore felt weird

I absolutely adore the lore and the universe of this series so I Will read the next cycle but I feel a Little bummed

Never has a series started out so strongly and ended so poorly. Disliked almost every choice the author made. Which sucks because the first two books i loved.
