Cawpile-method
Characters: 9/10  - Goed uitgewerkt, leuk brutaal en interessant hoe de emoties van het hoofdpersonage soms versterkt worden.

Atmosphere: 9/10 - Ik hou van de world building in dit boek! De context met de duivel en de perceptie van wat houdt de duivel in heeft me enorm bezig gehouden (misschien ook omdat ik voor het vak Christendom een lezing over de Duivel moest leren: de psychologie achter hoe is de duivel ontstaan en waarom is echt interessant).

Writing: 8/10 - Algemeen niets op aan te merken.
Plot: 8/10 - Niet te voorspelbaar.

Intrigue: 9/10 - JA, gewoon ja.

Logic: 6/10 - Naar mijn gevoel niet altijd even volgbaar.

Enjoyment: 9/10

If you are a fan of a dark mystery filled with self-discovery, love, and adventure, this is a book you need to try. Magic is infused every step of the way. 

I love and appreciate the fact that the themes of love, romance, and intimate relationships took a back seat for the main character.

I honestly think I figured out the plot/ending already (or at least on aspect), but I'm intrigued enough to keep going. I honestly enjoyed the dynamic between the characters and find the story different from a lot of things I have read. The story's darker elements are also points in favor of the book.
