alejandra_guerrero's review against another edition
3.75
I liked it. I wasn’t quite convinced, because, c’mon, the blurb makes it seem cheesy AF. But I think it was good. Tayla’s bigoted attitude toward demons was tiresome, though, and got annoying after a while, especially when she was proven, over and over, that her beliefs were incorrect. But I didn’t find her as irritating as some other characters I’ve read before.
The world is fascinating, though there are a couple of things I didn’t quite get. I guess they will be addressed in later books. The brothers are interesting, but Gem, Kynan (how the hell do you pronounce that?), and the slayers (Sorry, Guardians) in general, aren’t. I’m curious about Shade’s curse, and what the hell do you mean Wraith’s eyes are not his? I need to know. So I’ll keep reading.
Something I didn’t enjoy was the Miriad POVs present here, some of which have events that are tangential to the story at best. And, I don’t know if it was something about the version I got, but they didn’t have any separation, like we were in one character’s POV and the next paragraph was another’s, without a single space between the two to signal a change. Overall, I enjoyed it, though.
