A neat, short tale pf good vs evil were the lines between them are blurred. With a sardonic tone, the protagonist tells us we won't like him and indeed he does despicable things, but he is fun to read. The setting is unique and interesting. I wish we'd learned more about the demonology of it all. There was maybe a bit too much info about technical things that weren't entirely necessary and not enough mythology but overall it was a nice short read.
