For Humans, For Demons #2
Wing-Clipper
Jackson Crowe is lost.
Or, at least he was.
The bitter cold of Jackson’s yearning for revenge still pulsates within his chest. While licking the wounds of his last encounter with Carter and Cassiel, Jackson moves in the shadows, on the hunt for the two that escaped him back in New Ashton. He now finds himself in the ruins of New York, stalking Carter's movements while leaving the bodies of Un-Ascended in his wake. With new companions and renewed purpose, Jackson is ready to show Carter why he should have finished the Order of Dust when he had the chance.
But when Azazel the Ender decides to give chase to the escaped plaything with some unlikely allies of his own, Jackson may be little more than the Ender's prey.

I enjoyed the first book enough, though it had its issues as a debut novel for sure. This one is light years better and puts the story in a good place. It felt more immersive. The characters were alive and had realistic problems, as realistic as they can be for a science fiction world. What I liked most was the balance between action and open dialogue which gave good breathing moments for the story between bigger scenes. I hope the third book follows this trend.

July 9, 2022Jackson Crowe and crew are back in Wing-Clipper, book two in the For Humans, For Demons series by Nicholas J. Evans. They still aren't the good guys, they are the guys doing the dirty work in a world where few can see people for what they truly are.
The Order of Dust, Jackson Crowe, is on the hunt for those who escaped his wrath in the first book, while his companions are seeking the Order himself. There is plenty of action and intrigue to be found in this dark, gritty urban fantasy that has a very unique supernatural element--add in our anti-heroes, that dysfunctionally functional found family, and you've found yourself within the pages of Wing-Clipper.
As for the characters, yeah, they are better than ever. Evans has done a phenomenal job of expanding on their plights, both on as a group and on a personal level. This does not say anything against how insanely descriptive and amazing the action was but his very distinct, wide cast of characters really were my absolute favorite part. If anything, the slower moments really facilitate the progress of the story, allowing a moment for you to catch your breath in this high stakes, action filled story.
Evans managed to make the end of the story so bittersweet. A feat in a grim, dark book to be sure, he manages to give his characters the appropriate responses within these moments. All of this left me craving book 3.
