That fucking ending daaaaamn. I was cursing out loud when I turned the virtual page on my DS and the next page was the acknowledgements section. Can't wait until The Daylight War is released.
Everyone should read the first two books.

It's got demons and shit in it. It's really good.
Since its 5AM here, here's a quick copy paste from wikipedia for the summary of the first book:
The novel follows three POV characters in their passage from childhood to maturity. They are inhabitants of a world plagued by the attacks of demons known as corelings, which rise from the planet's core each night to feast upon humans. The ongoing attrition of these attacks have reduced humanity from an advanced state of technology to a 'dark age'. The only defense against the corelings are wards (magical runes) that can be drawn, painted, or inscribed to form protective barriers around human settlements. These are, however, fragile and prone to failure unless properly maintained.
As the novel progresses, the protagonists each embark upon their own "hero's journey" in an effort to save humanity.
In writing the tale, Brett was keen to move beyond a simple adventure story, to present a fantasy novel about fear and its impact. He was particularly interested in the effect of fear "causing some to freeze up and others to leap into action"
The books are by Peter V. Brett who is apparently a good writer.
