The Blurb On The Back:
The demon’s surrender could destroy them all.
The Goblin Market has always been the center of Sin’s world. Now the war between magicians and the Market is escalating, and her position as future leader is threatened. As the market gains strange new allies, Sin’s only chance to lead is to accomplish an impossible task. Among the most dangerous of the Market’s allies are the enigmatic Ryves brothers, Alan and Nick. When Sin is forced to seek their help, new feelings arise among them, and Sin realizes the brothers pose a greater danger than she dreamed. Alan is marked – and being tortured – by the magicians, and Nick seems to be working for them. A terrible sacrifice has to be made if anyone is going to survive the final battle.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Sarah Rees Brennan’s conclusion to The Demon’s Lexicon trilogy is a satisfying read that’s packed with action and heartache. It’s not a perfect book – there were moments that didn’t structurally work for me and I never quite bought into the key relationship in the book. However I did love the relationship between Nick and Alan and its depiction gives the story both momentum and a strong emotional core. I really look forward to seeing what Brennan does with her next book.
THE DEMON’S SURRENDER is released in the UK on 14th June 2011. Thanks to Simon & Schuster for the ARC of this book.
