This just keeps getting better and better. The protagonist is a member of a brutally persecuted minority. He and his compatriots have captured a member of a near-legendary tribe of beings believed to be devils or djinn. It's fascinating to watch the protagonist call the captured person an "it" and treat her with fear and distrust. He is slow to realize the parallels, but eventually he does.

This is getting better as it goes. The protagonist is compelling and the world is interesting. Prose is solid, although I think it could have benefited from one more copy editing pass. At first I thought the audiobook narrator was angry at his microphone, then I realized that he's going for an uber-masculine soldier's voice, which maybe fits the military theme. Pretty good with tone in dialogue, though.

Just finished, RTC soon...

Okay James, I see you might not be who I initially feared you were!

Azelta’s world has just irrevocably changed with the loss of his protector and advocate. I can see a route he can take to rise even higher, but I do not know if that’s the route the story will take. And what will the influence of the Sarh devil have on Azetla? Things are getting tense!

Chapter 9 was INTENSE! There have been a lot of scenes with emotional tension, but there hasn’t been a lot of action till this chapter. This isn’t bad, the pacing is done well and the intensity of the story has gravity that sucks you in. The action in this scene was not drawn out, it happened quick, and that’s know it goes irl.
