4.5/5 Stars

Demon is my first read of The God Eater Saga, choosing to read in chronological order.

What a start. As I read, it felt like a 4/5 for me… until the ending sequence. That elevated it even more. I absolutely cannot wait to continue this trilogy of trilogies that Rob is creating. A dark, bloody, exciting ride.

Quick, dark, engaging and well-written start to a series I will definitely continue. Plot is not overly complicated and not a lot actually happens, yet I found myself interested in where it was going and invested in the characters alongside Dien’s journey.
I have no idea if reading Demon first is the best way to consume this trilogy of trilogies, but I liked having a quick way to see if I liked Hayes writing, and I definitely did! Looking forward to checking out Deathless next before diving into the bigger beast that is Herald.

 This book made me angry and equally interested to read more of this world. My experience of Rob J Hayes book has been mixed as he tends to go towards darker aspects but equally brilliant world building and characters as well. Onwards to the next book and exploring this unique trilogy set up.

Wow, just wow. This was a lot packed into 186 pages and I was glued to my seat. If th rest of the series is anything like this novella I'm so glad I paid for the special editions.

Oh my god! I absolutely inhaled this. Yes, granted, it's only 200 pages, but still!

This is super dark, grim and brutal. It has torture, abuse, forced cannibalism, it is horrific, but it's so good. The determination and drive Dien has to escape is amazing character, and what Rob J Hayes can do in just a few chapters is also amazing.

I NEED to get Dein's next book please 🙏

The demons came and it made all so much darker. 
What a grim and gloomy book. Very graphic and bloody. i liked it .. A LOT. really good start to the Archive of the Godeater Trilogy. I am very pleased I started with this one. Gives a view into the world and whats about to come in terms of tone and atmosphere.
