About this listen

Demons have been hunted to the verge of extinction. Those who know of the horrors lurking in the dark act as though the threat is long past. It has allowed Conrad to continue his education undisturbed, to work toward joining his friends as a comrade-in-arms rather than a child to be protected.

The appearance of two powerful demons changes everything. The creatures are back, stronger than ever, and the years of quiet are at an end. The Principality finds itself in need of demon hunters once again. Conrad and his comrades are the ones for the job.

The chain of clues draws them ever closer to what their unseen enemy desires, and they find themselves in a deadly race to stop it from regaining its former power.

Too many holes in this one

An ok continuation of our blood bearers quest to complete his blood oath but it raised lots of issues for me. I did specifically like the hunt for the 'ghost' -very Dracula's castle feel to that adventure! Nice. I was also drawn in by the ice runners and drama that ensued. Of course, I still don't like the name Conrad and I connected less with him than I did in book 1 - in fact, the most annoying part about this book was the strange character development - Conrad seemed to be determined and smart in the first book as a teen but after 8 years and study at the academy he merely becomes this kind of boring guy who just follows his old comrads around with a chip on his shoulder about a grey priest? And to contrast this we have Manfred who has been forced to live beneath his station all this time and has suddenly grown from a stupid snob and bully into a strategic smart capable fighter out for revenge? It's strange and not explained well enough. Nor is the disappearance of the demons and their activity in the time between books- one would think the intelligencia would have a clue about something- anything- but by now I think we have realised they have NO CLUE - nothing they are left to investigate or study is understood - they are useless (and yet Manfred pays some academics and they get answers for him within days?! the intelligencia had the knowledge his father was a demon sympathiser and yet they couldn't track down that trunk of books? come on ) - and why does Heidi just flash a badge and everyone does what she says - because of intelligencia reputation? but when have we ever really seen proof of this reputation - I mean really I don't get it. This one probably needs a 2 star rating but I did like some moments and it's just a shame there are so many holes here - I will get onto book 3 just to conclude the story. Hopefully some holes are fixed up. Of course excellent narration as always with John Lee.
