This is a discussion topic for the July 2024 Book of the Month, "Demonslayer" by Ian P. Eviston

Were the characters in this book sufficiently developed?

Character development seemed to me the book's strong point, so yes, I say they were sufficiently developed. Actually, I expect even more development in the sequel(s), considering the coming-of-age element of the series.

I believe the characters were exceptionally well-developed. Their backstories were interwoven into the story without impeding the pace and it gave a deep view into why they act and think the way they do.

There is so much going on, that it’s difficult to say whether the characters matured/changed and developed to suit the changes, as would happen in real life. I think, apart from some archdemons, their characters stayed mostly the same, although I felt a maturing in Emily.

The characters were well-developed, with their backstories seamlessly woven into the story. This integration provided a deep understanding of their actions and thoughts without slowing the pace.

I would definitely say that the character growth was on point for each of the characters. Each has their own learning curve and grow as a person and as a demonslayer I believe. It will be interesting to see how the author deepens their personalities even more in the upcoming novels !

Yes. I believe the characters in this book were developed. The story takes their past and adds to how they make their choices.

I believe that the characters were well-developed, and the fact that their backstories were interwoven into the storyline made it all the more so.

I felt that there were various archdemons that developed well, and a few on the ‘good’ side. I don’t think Spirit matured too much, but, there again, the story developed at a galloping rate and they simply adapted to the ever changing environment.

yes they were sufficiently developed

yes, the characters were sufficiently developed, from the main characters to the introduction of characters and the unique roles the characters all played

All the characters did justice to their various role so the character development is top notch.

I think the characters were fully developed. I thought they all fit into the story perfectly and I enjoyed learning about each of their backgrounds.

I especially liked the character development of the book, and I think it's what makes the book great. The relations and connection among characters are well written.

Also, their emotions and actions were easy to understand and relate to. I think the author did an amazing job in concern to this, and I did not see anything to criticize about the characterization.
