Farbonnur Elves #6
Demon of Darkness
Darkness falls, and the blood demon rises.
Alvarick and the other elves have done everything they can to protect their people by securing the other four citadels and forcing the blood demon to rise in his hometown. Now, as the darkness of the dream world blots out the healing sun, he must return home to wage the final battle for the realm of the living.
Things go from bad to worse the moment they arrive in the abandoned citadel. Velden must fight his way through empty, returned, and the last of the blood mages before he can reunite with his bondmate.
Not all who die stay dead. A surprise awaits the elves and their found family: the blood demon has many familiar faces. They must separate the demon from its assimilated souls before it's too late.
Demon of Darkness is the 96,000 word final installment in the Farbonnur Elves Series (should be read after Tree of Secrets) and has a Happily Ever After ending. For everyone. Trust me.

This has been a fascinating, enthralling, chilling, suspenseful series with gods/goddesses, demons, empty/returned, mages, and elves. Five prior books have provided the build-up to the final confrontation between the elves of Farbonnur and the blood demon. Readers have watched our heroes struggle, find their bondmates, fight blood mages, empty, and returned (and sometimes it seemed their own goddess and hierarchy), while they worked to bring the elves together, build their defenses, and prepare to meet the enemy. It has been a fantastic ride (and - yes - the books need to be read in order to understand everything that is going on), and this final book brings it all together, with more surprises and twists, valiant efforts, and drama. Our elves being passionate people, there are smexy times as well.😏 I have really enjoyed this series, and this finale is exciting, with HEA (for those who deserve it), and fulfilled all my expectations.
I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

I was expecting some long psychodrama where the most powerful elf faces off against the blood demon who wears the faces of the people he loves who died, what actually happened was a good bit of chaos, a little bit of strategy and a lot of naked times across all the main characters.
I do wonder about an immortal 18 year old god-elf with infinite power. There’s a massive experience gap between him and his 600 year old life partner.
Questions got answered: why is Dashalin for dudes? Why is there only one goddess, and how did she get magic when other women didn’t? What is the point of all this suffering?
I think there is a whole archive of stories left on the cutting room floor, not a bad thing, since even if I don’t see it, it gives a character weight, and affects their choices and attitudes.

Good
This is going to be hard to review without spoiling things. I will do my best. It took me a while to read this and it had nothing to do with the writing. Every time I'm on the last book of a series, I find it a lot easier to get distracted. So the first half, was slow going for me. Once the battles started, it was easier for my brain to stay engaged. Did everything wrap up the way I wanted it to? Um no. There was a pretty big twist towards the end.
