Awesome

When we first saw Robin in the other codex series, she was introduced from the perspective of the other characters, but the tiny demon contractor was fascinating! This novel, from her perspective widened that lens and shows us the other side- and what she thinks of the original quartet! It’s great and I can’t wait to see what this group gets into next!

Pros:
- Well written
- blends well with the first series while standing alone
- Zylas..... can i have a crush on a demon? I have a crush on a demon.

Cons:
- I thought Robin would be stronger, actually, from seeing her previously. But she’s not. It’s jarring, but it truly works much better this way.

an Interesting spin off to the Guild codex!

I want to inject this book into my VEINS I'm so damn obsessed it's unreal. I swear to god, the last time I've been so continuously excited while reading a book, binge reading it like there's no tomorrow and continuously giggling and kicking my feet and feeling euphoric with excitement, was about a year ago. And I've been chasing that high ever since.

I adore Robin!! Seriously, I love nothing more than a relatable socially anxious main character who believes she's weak and lame, and gets thrust into an adventure that slowly forces her to strengthen and develop, all while maintaining her good heart. Because same, so relatable, I'm not strong and confrontational either, and this book is an inspirational representation for weak girlies like me.

AND ZYLAS. He's so demony and terrifying and lowkey adorable and I just can't get enough. And the banter!!! I ship Robin and Zylas so much is unreal.

Ugh this was such a fun read and I can't WAIT to devour the whole series!! I literally don't care about anything else in my life atm.

I’d seen this title for a while but unfortunately judged a book by its cover (no offence to the artwork to be clear, it’s beautiful!) but for whatever reason, I’d assumed I wouldn’t like the series. I was happily wrong.

I really enjoy the short, shy character of Robin, especially juxtaposed against her taller, more confident cousin Amalia. I find Robin’s inner thoughts and worries realistic, and she’s a likeable character.

I also really liked the opening first chapter - a dramatic start to a new series.

Second read. Would read 1000x more.
