The writing style was engaging and vivid, with cinematic descriptions that brought the action and emotions to life. The pacing was well-balanced, with a good mix of action scenes and quieter character moments.

The primary genre of the book is fantasy, but it also incorporates elements of adventure, action, and a touch of the supernatural. There are also hints of drama and romance, particularly in the relationships and emotional bonds between characters.
Opinion on the Cover and Title:
As far as book cover is concerned , I found it very attractive and well suited with the title and theme of the book.The title Demonslayer is fitting for the story, as it directly references the central conflict between humans and demons and the protagonist's role in this battle. It effectively conveys the book's focus and sets the tone for the epic adventure.

Thanks for your contribution. I actually thought I was the only one struggling with the shifting POVs. I think it would be easier to trace a character's line of thought if Ian ran with the third-person omniscient POV, especially to foreground the characters' psycho abilities.EBERE WRITES COCEPT wrote: ↑03 Jul 2024, 11:43 Demonslayer by Ian P. Eviston felt like entering a Marvel world with magic and complex moral shades. I loved the intricate world-building, rich mythology, and nuanced elemental magic. The found family trope was well-executed, with Spirit as a compelling protagonist. However, the numerous POVs made it hard to keep track of all characters. The writing style was engaging, balancing action with deep lore. The fantasy genre is enriched with themes of heroism, family, and moral ambiguity. The cover could be more detailed. Overall, the book offers valuable lessons on loyalty and sacrifice. I would recommend it for its imaginative and thrilling narrative.

Hi Sanjeev, you mention an important aspect in a book's character development-characters' progression. I think readers empathize more with characters they watch grow, perhaps shaped by their experiences, but demonstrating impact from the plot shifts. It makes the plot development believable, even in the utopian sense.Sanjeev Maurya wrote: ↑05 Jul 2024, 14:27 "Demonslayer" by Ian P. Eviston is a gripping fantasy with great characters and a rich world. The story mixes action, emotions, and tough choices really well. I love how deeply the characters grow, especially Spirit and his squad's dynamics. There's also juicy political intrigue among the demons that keeps things interesting. Some might find the darker themes and violence a bit much, though. Eviston's writing paints vivid scenes and makes you feel for the characters. Overall, it's a fantasy with action, adventure, and a touch of darkness, perfect for fantasy fans. The cover and title match the epic vibe. It teaches resilience and tough choices in conflict, making it a solid read for fantasy and action-adventure lovers, but be aware of its darker side if you're sensitive.
