The Demon takes sometime

It was an enjoyable book and many characters were developed to a point where I cared about them. A few characters were not and time spent with one I’m not invested in can be tedious. This is a completely developed world with customs, culture, history and Parthenon so it will take sometime for you to understand the history. This is an interest beginning I am going to see what comes next.

Great Performance but author has bad pacing

The reading was great. Unfortunately the author wastes a lot of time building up characters just to have them die pointlessly. There is this long slow build-up just to have a very anti climactic ending. i understand it is book 1 but each book in a series needs to feel like its own book not just a couple of chapters of a major tale. Unfortunately this one seems to be the latter.

Interesting Story Start

An enjoyable listen. Lots going on with numerous plot lines I look forward to seeing the second book. Not blown away, but I am interested.

Unexpectedly, I love it and am on to part two.

I am a very picky reader. I rarely read anything that isn't star wars related, lord of the rings related, or written by Brandon Sanderson. I had the audible premium plus trial and decided that I would give a book I knew nothing about a try. it wasn't what I was used to but I love it either way and look forward to the second book, which I am already very much enjoying. I will probably get the third book too, even though it isn't included in the membership. We will see.

Loved it

Listened to it in a couple days up at work. Started off a little confusing but as it progressed I found myself envisioning in my head what seemed to be a fairly excellent Netflix series. Overall it kept me highly entertained as it was funny serious and emotional. It truly captivated me.
