My Opinion
As an avowed fan of Peter V. Brett's demons cycle and I had to wait a long time for Messenger's Legacy. Even if the act itself comprises only about 90 pages, so the fantasy novel is still clearly a "real" board. You already appeared with the first lines in the plot and puts the book until the end no more to the side. Peter's captivating writing walnut style did not let me go.
What is it? In Messenger's Legacy, walnut he leads the boy Briar Damaj a an extremely interesting new character in his haunted by demons fantasy world. According to Peter's statement, the first chapter of this short story was supposed to be the opening chapter to the flames of the twilight. However, he wanted walnut to expand the history of Briar further and therefore opted for a separate amendment to give more space to the action. I must say fortunately, because Briar could convince me. He and his family are valid in the small village Bogton as an outsider. Many villagers can not understand that the healers of the village years ago took a "running up" Krasians to man, and the prejudices against "foreigners" and the children with a different skin color smolder beneath the surface. Sometimes the aversion occurs also open to light and although the family kept trying to integrate into the community, they never really seem to be a part of it. I see this storyline clear Paral
