The book surpassed my expectations. The advancement of the new Vanguard recruits in the battles was impressive, highlighting their resilience and teamwork despite their differences. On their own, their lack of experience would have made it impossible to combat the demons. The bittersweet ending could lead to a shift in Spirit's motivations in future sequels. The character development, detailed settings, and innovative use of artificial intelligence and robotics were exceptional.

Ian P. Eviston's Demonslayer blew me away. The immersive world-building, unique magic system, and found family aspect added depth. The multiple perspectives, especially from the demons, made the characters compelling, though occasionally confusing. The engaging writing and exploration of loyalty and sacrifice kept me hooked. If you love fantasy with action, magic, and strong characters, this book is a must-read.

Well, I’m halfway through the novel and I can say this is an interesting fictional book. The fantasy is almost like non-fiction with the way the author writing style is unique.

I haven't had the time to actually read the book. So it'd be disingenuous to have an opinion on whether it met or disappointed my expectations. However, I've read glowing reviews about this book. So I'm confident I'd be awed with the author's effort too.

I think the first part of the book was gripping. My curiosity made sure that I pushed through it to find out what would happen next.
