Publisher's summary
New York Times best-selling author Peter V. Brett brings one of the most imaginative fantasy sagas of the 21st century to an epic close.
For time out of mind, bloodthirsty demons have stalked the night, culling the human race to scattered remnants dependent on half-forgotten magics to protect them. Then two heroes arose - men as close as brothers, yet divided by bitter betrayal.
Arlen Bales became known as the Warded Man, tattooed head to toe with powerful magic symbols that enable him to fight demons in hand-to-hand combat-and emerge victorious. Jardir, armed with magically warded weapons, called himself the Deliverer, a figure prophesied to unite humanity and lead them to triumph in Sharak Ka - the final war against demonkind.
But in their efforts to bring the war to the demons, Arlen and Jardir have set something in motion that may prove the end of everything they hold dear - a Swarm. Now the war is at hand and humanity cannot hope to win it unless Arlen and Jardir, with the help of Arlen's wife, Renna, can bend a captured demon prince to their will and force the devious creature to lead them to the Core, where the Mother of Demons breeds an inexhaustible army.
Trusting their closest confidantes, Leesha, Inevera, Ragen, and Elissa, to rally the fractious people of the Free Cities and lead them against the Swarm, Arlen, Renna, and Jardir set out on a desperate quest into the darkest depths of evil - from which none of them expects to return alive.

1870. A time known as The Great Killing. The vampire clans arose and slaughtered humanity with unprecedented carnage in the northern parts of the world. Millions perished; millions were turned into herd animals. The great industrialized civilizations of the world were left in ruin. A remnant fled south to the safety of the ever present heat which was intolerable to vampires. There, blending with the local peoples, they rebuilt their societies founded on human ingenuity, steam and iron.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

For Hudson, the virtual world of PrimeVerse isn't all bad. It's beautiful, much nicer than overpopulated Earth. It almost feels like a vacation except for the volatile wildlife, lack of any amenities, and—oh yeah—the inability to log out. Exploring the world, learning his class, and leveling skills is all fun and games until a powerful rogue player with a vendetta shows up to wipe out Hudson and his primitive tribe. Thrust into a conflict he didn't create, Hudson is forced into a cycle of respawning where he learns that even death can be used as a tool. So much for that vacation.

Okay But Predictable
This story finished exactly as I thought it would. Somewhat anticlimactic when you've figured out how something will end two books ago. Still, I very much enjoyed the series and especially Pete Bradbury's telling of it.
My only real complaint is the introduction of the hermaphrodite baby. There was no reason for this and it left me wondering -- wait, what the...?? Maybe Peter is setting us up for the "next" chapter, but it was too off the wall and did nothing for the story.

Dont listen to the haters.
all the spoilers included. fair warning.
I have loved this series and it feels like another book could be added, or atleast another series using this world 2000 years in the future or somethink like that, seeming not all the demons are dead, and it is a possibility of some queen eggs were squirreled away in another "Hive".
pros
1. It's a decent wrap up to the books.
2. it was not predictable.
3. it kept me compelled to finish.
cons
1. (not the authors fault) I could hear what sounded like chewing and swallowing often....
2. it raised more questions then is answered.
a. how's the world going to deal with battle crazed warded people on the loose during peace time?
b. Can anyone create wards or just people misting and touching the core?
c. with demons gone, what happens to the hora and things like making awarded glass. The whole structer of this world is biased around demons and wards. many warders will starve in the streets without a profession.
3. no release date for book 6

So sad it's over!
This was a very satisfying end to an exciting and imaginative series. The series as a whole was unlike anything I've ever read, and this book was no different! There were some cheesey parts sure but over all it was everything I would hope for as an end to a series. I'm excited too because it seems like the story will continue since he's set up a second series so well! I can't wait!

ABSOLUTELY loved it!
One thin I hate is the fact that this is the end. Gonna give it a couple weeks and start over!

Great story line, but bad ending
I am a huge fan of the demon cycle, I waited for it seems like forever for the last book to come out!, now that it has and have listened to it I was disappointed in the end. It seemed to me the author tryed to cram everything in to finish the book where personally I think that another book, the core 2 should have been made. I feel like there was also a lot left. I still have mixed feelings on how it all ended, could have been better

Great Series
I absolutely loved this series. I hope there will be something more added to this story eventually. I feel like this book was a bit rushed, being that it was the final war with the demons. It also left a huge hole, what ever happened to the consort? May e I just missed it somehow, but I didn't hear anything about his demise or wellbeing after he fled capture. All in all the I really enjoyed this series and seriously hope there will be something more added in the future.
