This book is one part Dark Souls, two parts Hieronymus Bosch, set to the soundtrack of every heavy metal band ever created, and finally seasoned with wit and humor through and through.
This book was amazing and moving and also completely and totally fucking bitchin’

The characters and dialogue were the best parts.
It had a lot more horror tropes than I expected. Very dark in places.

I loved the references to Gnostic scripture and how it brought religion to life in such a way that now angels and God cannot be boring. That said, I believe this book can be enjoyed without being overly Christian- it’s a classic story about knights slaying monsters and supernatural forces that help him and his team along.
As a fan of Joan of Arc, I loved Delphine. Her character was compelling and fun, as were Matthieu and Thomas. This book is so funny with scenes packed with so much action I had to stop myself from reading too fast and savor it.
If you are a fan of knights, horror, and magic, I cannot recommend this book enough. It’s absolutely my favorite now.
