This book is beautifully written. I wish I had loved the actual story more than I did.

I was convinced from about 20% of the way through to 90% of the way through that this would end in the main character’s death or it would end sadly and I was surprised it did not.

I just never felt fully invested in Demon’s story unfortunately.
