This is a huge improvement over Lord Loss, pure action from start to finish.
Shan revels in his gory little details, and the crude world he has created is really starting to shine through here.
This was my first introduction to the Demonata series back when I was like 8-10, and I was a scaredy cat back then, yet I enjoyed every moment of the book, I enjoyed the horror, just needing to find out more about this world. Shan managed to straddle the line in horror that allows these stories to be horrifying and gruesome and sad and gory and gross, but still readable for kids. It’s really impressive.
