With the pressure on after his success in Gaol, Eli Monpress, professional thief and degenerate, decides it's time to lie low for a bit. Taking up residence in a tiny seaside village, Eli and his companions seize the chance for some fun and relaxation.
Nico, however, is finding it a bit hard. Plagued by a demon's voice in her head and feeling powerless, she only sees herself as a burden. Everyone's holiday comes to an untimely close, though, when Pele arrives to beg Eli's help for finding her missing father.
But there are larger plans afoot than even Eli can see, and the real danger, and the solution, may lie with one of his own and her forgotten past.
If only Nico could remember whose side she's on.

Reader thoughts:There wasn't as much Eli in this book, but the other characters got more stage time and made a beautiful story just fine without him in the spotlight.
After this 3rd book, I do shake my head at the repetition between the books. Eli must steal something big, Miranda comes after him, a famous swordsman comes after Josef, League tries to take Nico, Miranda loses Eli, Josef nearly dies, Nico nearly loses her humanity, and Eli's bounty doubles.
(Not to give anything away, but books 4 and 5 break the mold. Without losing any epicness.)
This makes the plot sound a little predictable, but it's not. There are so many ways the characters keep showing more sides of themselves, showing what they're willing to risk to achieve what ends. Also, we learn a lot more about the Shepherdess in this book. She's a little crazy.
Oh, and I've noticed the characters don't seem to mind a bunch of pain, since they're usually healed again in a relatively short time frame (stabbed through the back takes less than five days to heal; broken bones take a couple minutes). I suppose mountain swords make expert doctors (obviously), but it's still a little unreal.
New characters! Sparrow and Tesset and Sara and Alric (although we've sort of seen him before), and more with Slorn and the Heart.
Also, the demon(s) of the world are sounding scarier. They can't be killed . . . which is very bad news. But, thankfully, I'm sure Eli and Josef and Nico and Miranda and Gin will solve it.
I'm already mourning the fact that there are only 2 more books in the series. Sigh.
Writer thoughts:
I love how well Aaron gives out hints in her books. We get hints at Eli's past and his involvement with the Shepherdess. We get hints at Nico's past and her involvement with the demon. We get hints at Miranda's past and her involvement with Banage. We get hints of Josef's past (or, we do in book 4). Above all, we get hints of the world's past, where it came from, and why the sky is so dangerous and spirits are falling asleep.
This tactic keeps the readers guessing. They're given just enough information to make up their own ideas, but not enough to understand the whole piece of trouble that everyone has landed in.

The Spirit Eater (Audible Audio Edition) Rachel Aaron Luke Daniels Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
This series is addicting!
Keep on reading!!! Very very good. I like it! Interested to see who's it ends. The relationship between Eli and whom? I wonder
Trouble with starting a series is that, even if it is not the world's best, it may catch your interest and urge you on just enough to keep you reading to find out what happens. If you like fantasy in general, this is not bad summer reading.
I'm not sure that the person who put the picture on the cover actually read the book.
That said, I ate through this series of 5 books, and enjoyed all of them.
Fantasy fanatics, find your fetish here ) Read these books!
Another great installment of the story of Eli Monpress. Lots of action! And you learn new things about Eli. Awesome read. You won’t be disappointed.
There's something addicting about this series although the plot and characters always feel flat, I must say I love the idea of spirits and that angle of wizardry. I feel that a lot of things about this series could have been forgiven, a lot of characters could have been more lovable or interesting if every single character wasn't so unrealistically asexual. I haven't read the last two books of the series but I know already not to expect anything beyond "companionship" and even that runs hollow. I don't understand why it's legitimate to have so much violence but just a bit of romantic seasoning isn't appropriate? Why, even Josef and Nico can't seem to be anything but friends.
This is the third in the Eli Monpress Series. The plot is more zippy than the second installment and I enjoyed it more. The editing, once again. improve.
Its a fun story about Thieves and Spirit Magic. I won't argue that this is a masterpiece of writing. It is however a great piece of escapism.
Eli and his cohorts are a place to go that has nothing to do with this world. The story is compelling, we learn a bit more about the backgrounds of each character, about Eli. about Slorn the bear, and about Nico.
We meet three new characters, who have mysteries of their own and Aaron leaves it apparent that we will see more of them and perhaps learn more.
