Comments, observations, conjecture...
KIndle Unlimited - Thank you
It appears that the author must have taken the editing advice to heart and revised copy. Definitely not pristine and goof free, but the errors aren't all that significant. English is a second language for this author? That being the case, the writing is pretty impressive. Yeah, the pain for magic descriptions are pretty redundant at this point.
About the "political commentary" that some reviewers find annoying... I've taken it as kind of a running riff relative to the MC's rather unique mindset. Caine is narcissistic, misogynistic, sex obsessed, dragon greedy, selfish, violent, vengeful, and a self-described sociopath. Of course he doesn't like liberals, social programs, etc. Yep, he's one hard core conservative, raised to proper standards of demonic values. Of course he demands "loyalty" (fealty) oaths. Hmmm.... oh, smirk...
Author's prerogative, but the superfluous political commentary is too irrelevant to serve as parody or comic relief. The conservative snark, carried over into the following books, just gets annoyingly lame; significantly disruptive to the point of affecting ratings. The passages could simply be cut and their absence wouldn't be noticed.

Oh, the typos...
The storyline, as usual, is great, the characters are interesting and Caine as well-defined as his normal sociopathic self. But formatting, spelling and other typos abound. Surely spending an extra hour or two simply reading through the novel before it's published and checking for errors wouldn't hold up release of the work too much! Trust me, that time would be well spent. Not only for better reviews, it would make the novel so much better.

This reads more like a scobby doo mystery then anything else. Didn't feel like it belonged to Demon Lord Series.
Not that interesting story as the previous installments.

This series is both good and bad all at once, yet addictive like sugar. Much as I complain about things, Ill download the next one.
The vulgarity of the main character is addicting. Its an unfettered world of violence and destruction based on supernatural powers. Its all about the bad things killing off the worse things. The worse thing in this book felt bolted on at the end. Its climactic fight scene less interesting then lead up and a few side scenes, the graveyard, left completely unexplained.
The book itself is made less readable by lack of an editor or proofreader. Those critical components could have boosted this a star in my opinion.

Great main character!
The only down side to this series and this book was that the time line seemed to stop and start at odd places, with seriously annoying gaps in the over all story line. Additionally, sometimes the story line seemed to go way to fast ( all four books) However, the story's main character is so awesome that I was quite willing to overlook these things. I really hope the author will re-write these books with the kinks worked out. I would definitely buy them!

This was about on par with the other books in this series, though slightly less bloodthirsty as the character does seem to be growing up a bit. However, the snide current political commentary inserted in the novel is rather jarring and does the author no favours in a fantasy novel even for non US readers.

So I was thinking the hero had a bit of a soft spot, but then he came out in this book guns blazing, fire roaring, upping the anti hero! No mercy, a real womaniser, nice big ego, lots of his killer instinct - and I love him! Very true to what he is written to be. The wise cracks, as always, tickled my fancy, and the action was awesome.

Better
After a lacklustre outing last time we get a bit more story this time round. While still not fully exploring the possibilities that the character of Caine Deathwalker presents at least this time it's not all Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. More rounded story telling. And a serial killer thrown in to boot.
