A review by kristid
The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan
4.0
The Demon’s Lexicon was unlike any fantasy novel I have read. It’s a dark fantasy full of corrupt magicians and body inhabiting demons. Brennan also manages to throw a little humor in there as well.
I thought that the beginning of the novel was a little slow, but then the plot picked up and moved along nicely. Once you begin to read it’s impossible not to become completely engrossed in the story.
The characterization in this novel was awesome! Nick’s struggles and emotions just leapt off the page, you can’t help but be drawn to him. And it wasn’t just Nick’s character that really stood out to me, they all did. Despite the few appearances of their mother, I still felt her character was very well portrayed. Brennan did an awesome job! And I especially loved the relationship between Alan and Nick.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The plot twists.... totally did not see them coming AT ALL. The foreshadowing is very light, it’s there but you’ve really got to pay attention. Once the big twist is revealed, the story takes on a whole new light.
Can’t wait for the next one!
