mollymortensen 's review for:

The Demon's Covenant by Sarah Rees Brennan
4.0

I wasn't sure about Mae as a protagonist, and of course she's no Nick, but I still liked her. At least we still got to see Nick. The story wasn't nearly as good when it was just Mae. Though I did enjoy the relationship between Mae and her brother Jamie. I really loved him in this book.

I wish that the author added the new POV to each book instead of changing narrators. I wanted more Nick! My favorite parts of the book were Nick's human lessons. I also enjoyed the parts where Mae read Nick's dad's journal to him.

Spoilers for Demon's Lexicon!
Spoiler
Nick's powers were so cool!


The Bad:

In Lexicon I loved the brother's relationship, but in this one they're fighting and Alan doesn't trust Nick.
Spoiler The whole let's take away most of Nick's powers when everyone still wants us dead made no sense and I hated it!
That part is why I won't be buying this book and putting it on my favorites shelf with the first.

Spoiler
I didn't like the part with his past demon friends. It didn't make a lot of sense that he'd betray Liannan based on how he thought about her before.
