Solid story! I enjoyed reading through different characters' perspectives and seeing the event unfolds simultaneously from different angles. There are definitely some moments of sadness, but the tension is building up for the finale. This particular installment serves as a transitional step and primes the story for the end.
The Demonata series is a wonderful read. From the start until the end, you’ll be gripped, with the storyline being intricately woven throughout the books. Whilst it may seem, at the start, as though the books are telling different stories such is not the case. Everything is brought together wonderfully and you cannot appreciate the magic of the series unless you work your way through it.
Without a doubt, one of my favourite reads from my later childhood.
