This book was a solid three stars. It's a fantasy adventure with lone heroes battling it out against demons and some interesting characters and a fun magic system. My biggest criticism was that the book is called “The Warded Man” and is actually the Warded Man's origin story starting from when he is a child. The title basically explained his entire arch which takes like 350 pages to complete. Also, Peter V. Brett doesn't understand how periods work.

That was all forgivable until the last quarter of the book though when Leesha is violently raped multiple times then two days later throws herself at Arlen and getting super upset when he refuses to continue having sex with her after they are attacked by a demon. God, just typing that sentence upsets me all over again. WOMEN WHO ARE VIOLENTLY RAPED DO NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH STRANGE MEN TWO DAYS LATER! Like I'll forgive writers not really understanding how menstrual cycles work, but this just ruined anything I liked about the book. I really couldn't recommend this book to anyone at this point. It was kind of forgettable fantasy that then just turned gross.
