Demorn: City of Innocents (The Asanti #2) by David Finn - Starting June 30th

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Dimensional Exiles. Demon Gods. A mad Tyrant!

Every exile longs for their home. Two long years in the Grave Dimension have left Demorn's ruby heart cold, the holy blade of Xalos unable to spawn for her. Her girlfriend remains lost, the mad plan to resurrect her has failed.

Fleeing the doomed Grave Dimension, Demorn and Alex travel deep into heart of the Serpent Dungeon, straining against the cracks of splintering reality to escape the Grave, bargaining with demons to prevent obliteration and return to Babelzon.

But things have changed in the City of the Innocents. Demorn is a myth that only some believe in. Old friends have fallen or are trapped. Demorn can see the horrible bones of Ultimate Fate in the sky, and the Tyrant oversees all.

Poisoned by the cursed locket of a death god and surrounded by traitors, every bad and desperate deal Demorn has ever made will be called to account. She must save the Innocents from the clutches of the Tyrant. She must save her brother from gazing too deep in the ruins of Asanti. She must relight the fire of the Goddess.

She must face the Tyrant.

No Mercy!

Of course, Sharon! :) Would you like copies of both books in the Asanti Series, as Book One ends on a cliffhanger! :) Would you like a kindle mobi gift copy or epub/pdf?

Thanks.

Part 1: (view spoiler)[ I thought this was an improvement from the first book in terms of writing style. However, I still wished the world was described better and that the characters had more depth. I think it would make the series that much better. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Part 2: (view spoiler)[ I am surprised when Kate turns up. I am wondering what will happen between Kate and Demorn. That'll be interesting to see. The story is flowing a bit more in this book that in the first book. However, I still get confused at times. I want to know more about the world. It is very difficult to understand the world for me. I hope the ending is better than the first book. The characters are getting a bit more interesting which is good. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Parts 3-4: (view spoiler)[ I find it interesting how she stabbed her with a sword and there was no mark left on her. I am enjoying this book more now than the first book. I am getting more action sequences. I just want more of a background story now. As it seems to not have much of that throughout the book. (hide spoiler)]

Sharon wrote: "Parts 3-4: [spoilers removed]"Hi Sharon, Im really enjoying the commentary! You might appreciate that I am releasing an edition of City of Innocents in paperback soon which will have a breakdown and glossary to help, and there will also be one in Demorn 3 coming out later this year!

Demorn: Blade of Exile will be in paperback in a couple of weeks. I love all my readers and want to really enhance the experience!

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ this was a improvement from the first book. The characters were better in this one. The story flowed a bit better. I want to understand the world more, but I was still not able to. Hence, I found some parts confusing and boring. I give this book a 3.15/5 rating. (hide spoiler)]

Thanks Sharon ☺

[Maria]

Hey guys! I have a copy. I'd like to discuss

Chapter 2, part one (view spoiler)[ Didn't Demorn wake up unaware and all? Then she launches into battle mode without even knowing how she got there in the first place? :/

Alex is being nice. And I like Guard Dog! (hide spoiler)]

[David Finn]

I'm glad you like them Maria! ☺️ When Demorn wakes up in chapter two, her mind has come back to her after the Interlude. She falls asleep, has her dream/memory interlude then wakes up as the elevator descends... Keep reading

[Maria]

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up, David!

Chapter 2, part 2 (view spoiler)[ Demorn had been alone with no one but death as company and she was watching zombie movies? :3 I would've had a better idea--if I had books, I'd be reading. What better way to block out the depression of the world than getting lost in a book? ;) (hide spoiler)]

[Andy]

Maria- I still have this to read and I'm going to try to accomplish it this month but I can't promise it since I have three tests within the next two weeks :(

No problems! And I agree, she was very silly to be watching those movies but I guess she wasn't in her best frame of mind during that period!

Haha! Maybe :p

Oh. That sucks. Tests are so annoying! Well, good luck with them, I hope you do get reading done afterwards ^_^
