Demon

Oh my god! I absolutely inhaled this. Yes, granted, it's only 200 pages, but still!

This is super dark, grim and brutal. It has torture, abuse, forced cannibalism, it is horrific, but it's so good. The determination and drive Dien has to escape is amazing character, and what Rob J Hayes can do in just a few chapters is also amazing.

I NEED to get Dein's next book please 🙏

i rlly enjoyed this. it was one of the grossest things i've ever read. the action sequences were so good. i adored the ending so much and Dien is a fantastic character. i can't wait to read the other books in the God Eater Saga. knocked off a star bc i think it could be edited to be a solid 40pages or so shorter. the pacing is off to me at points (especially during the traveling part) and there's descriptions or pieces of internal monologue that i feel are repeated too many times—not enough to be annoying but enough to be noticeable. but overall this was pretty exciting.

Quick read. Can get real dark at times but I enjoyed it. Light on world building just really focused on the POV character Dien but I'm guessing the world gets fleshed out more in the next book and the mainline book of the series.
