This series has been increasingly frustrating, as if the author has had progressively less time to dedicate to successive books. When Demons Walk takes place after the invasion that was suggested in the previous book, albeit in another country and with entirely different protagonists.
I agree with one of the previous reviews that noted how the love story between the two main characters (Sham and Kerim) needed a lot more development. I was surprised by how much less captivating it was than the one in Briggs' "Alpha & Omega" books. Even the love story in the beginning of this series was given two books to develop and flower.
In fact, I wanted more character development in general: Kerim's brother and mother seemed completely one-dimensional, Kerim's servant Dickon begins to flesh out just as the story ends, and the story is briefly narrated by Talbot and Elsic yet their characters remain peripheral to the story. I would have preferred the book to have been twice as long, or at least be split into two books the way Masques and Wolfsbane were.
