This is my first read from this author and I can only say: GIVE ME MORE!!🤩
genre : paranormal historical fantasy
rating : ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
CW: ugh...mentions of violent deaths, murder, demonic possession
Thoughts ⛪
Soooo...in my opinion , this book was the perfect combination of actions and discussions.
We follow an unnamed MC , an exorcist, who's job is to expel demons from the people in his area...pretty boring for him...but what can he do🤷♀️... work is work.😅
The focus of the plot is the interaction between our MC and the Prosper of Schanz, a genius who's determined to raise the world's first philosopher-king...too bad he is possessed 🤭🤷♀️
I'll let you discover why Parker is such a talented man. Be prepared to learn some stuff about bronze horses and also, be shocked in regards to our MC's view on life.🤭
The novella is written in such a way you'll read it in a sitting 😉. The protagonist is NOT a good person, or even a good employee ( given the fact that he exhibits extreme denial, indifference and possibly sadistic inclinations)...but you want to see what he does/ says and how the other characters react.👀😳
All in all, I loved the ending and what it said about our MC😂, and I'm fully prepared to read more by this author!
I highly recommend you try this is any of my ramblings sounded interesting, or if you enjoy morally grey characters and philosophy mixt in!
