Another solid addition to the Demonata Series from Darren Shan.
I really enjoyed the historical fantasy vibe and thought the characters were enjoyable if a little one dimensional (though they definitely do the job for the age group this is written for).
My only complaint is that at places it falls slightly into the trope many historical fantasy books fall into: "this is a world where there are magic and demons but for some reason women are still not respected".
I don't think this was intentional, and sometimes it felt like this trope was maybe due to the main character growing up around men and just repeating what she had been told. If that's the case, Id be okay with that, but it's hard to tell in so short a book. The only thing I can say with certainty about this is that it wasn't enough to ruin my enjoyment of the book, it just made me roll my eyes when it came up.
Overall though i had a great time reading it and I'm looking forward to continuing with the series.

Netušila jsem, co od tohoto dílu Demonaty čekat, ale jak stránky přibývali, líbilo se mi to. Zatím se všechny předchozí díly odehrávali v moderním světe, nebo ve světě Demonat, ale tohle byla příjemná změna. Keltové. Prostředí hradišť, druidi a to všechno. Díky tomu, že to nebylo psané v minulém čase, ale přítomném se knížka krásně četla a dokanle mě vtáhla do děje. Popravdě se těším na další díl už jen kvůli tomu, abych zjistila co se stalo s Bec.
