Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Demon trilogy by R.A. Salvatore began with The Demon Awakens and continues with The Demon Spirit. Corona is a fantasy world regularly menaced by the "demon dactyl" who organizes the usual suspects--goblins, dwarfs, giants--in hope of wiping out humanity. Having been comprehensively blown up in book one, the now bodiless demon resorts to corrupting the soul of the abbot who is Corona's chief religious leader. It's an easy task, since despite a few good monks the church is already a murderous, hypocritical outfit.

On the other side, Elbryan the elf-trained warrior and his magic-wielding lady are busy cleaning up the increasingly disorganized remnants of the demon's armies, with skilled assistance from elf and thief companions. The magic comes from stones and jewels with various interesting powers, liberated from the church by a renegade monk in book one. This annoys the Abbot no end, and his "Brother Justice" assassins are hot on the stones' trail, bumping off rival clerics and innocent bystanders en route.

There's plenty of slick incidental adventure and skirmishing, and even an exciting raid on the torture chambers of the biggest and best-defended abbey. Meanwhile the battle lines are being rearranged: the fight is no longer against the demon but the now demon-influenced church, with the final clash scheduled for the concluding volume The Demon Apostle. Fast-moving commercial fantasy that delivers action rather than misty enchantment. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great, Fast Paced Continuation of an Intrgiuing Series, Mar 13 2004
By H. Alan Rosenberg "dolphins34" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Demon Spirit (Mass Market Paperback)
While not as great as I expected, this was a very entertaining and fast paced continuation of an exploration into the world of Corona. Salvatore, as always, kept my attention and focus and I truly enjoyed turning the pages. My only complaint is that after the victory over Dactyl (maybe/maybe not?) the story begins to focus more and more on the Abellican monks. At times I found this boring and lacking of slow. Once the goblins and powries left the stage the story began to grind to a slower pace. Although I did eventually get into the new direction of the story, it did take some getting used to.

Overall I'd recommend you pursue the continuation of the First Demon War Saga and pick up this novel. I look forward to reading the Demon Apostle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Gemstones, Oct 25 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Demon Spirit (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed the book The Demon Spirit by R.A. Salvatore because it was very discriptive about the battles. I liked the swords. The sword I liked the most was Elebryan's. The reason I liked his sword the most was because It could cut through anything! Another thing I liked was the jemstones ability to fight with magic. I think that R.A. Salvatore is one of the better fantasy authors.
