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.

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.

"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.

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.

Demonslayer by Ian P. Eviston is quite a fascinating paranormal story. The introduction of a book go a long way to decide how much readers it will have. I give this book a 100 for it's introduction. The story of how Spirit and Emily were separated from their parents and their life in that wretched community piqued my interest so much to continue reading to its end. I like the character development. I'm yet to find a dislike. Those who enjoy paranormal stories about demons would be enticed by this book.

[Brandon Bit Gates]

I would give the book an overall rating of 5 out of 5. It met my expectations. The story was well-developed and organized. The flow is gentle and rough, yea. It is the best that I have read in a few months. Kudos.

[Jennifer Bells]

With the vivid explanation and presentation of the narration, and the well developed character, I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars as it represent the expectations of the reader. This is is my rating.

[David Awunor]

I loved "Demonslayer" by Ian P. Eviston. The characters are deep, and their growth is portrayed beautifully. The story mixes action, emotion, and tough choices well. The writing is vivid, the transitions are seamless, and the themes of loyalty and sacrifice are powerful. Some might find the darker themes overwhelming, but overall, it's a fantastic fantasy read with political intrigue and a touch of darkness.

[Anthony Ambrose]

I appreciated the detail and character development in the story, which made it easy to connect with the characters. However, since I wrote the featured review, I wouldn't recommend this book for young readers. If it were adapted into a movie that stayed true to the book, it would likely be rated R due to the graphic violence. The story conveys powerful lessons about loyalty and the belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind to, but the emotional intensity and turmoil are quite strong.

[Nikhil Mishra 2]

All in all, Demonslayer is an auspicious start to I.P. Eviston's fantasy series, combining compelling world-building with engaging characters. More than anything else, perhaps, it would be the rich cinematic writing that would stand out and make action and emotion pop—Spirit's bond with his sister does vividly shine through. At times, the pacing can be the least enjoyable part; sometimes, it is so fast and rapid that some points are let loose. This book falls squarely into the fantasy genre, with inclusions of adventure and magical fighting. The cover and title are attractive and representative of the epic tone. Probably one of the most important lessons learned from this book was that resilience is important against hardship, as was witnessed in Spirit's case. I would recommend this to fantasy lovers who enjoy detailed world-building, strong characters, and high-stakes action.

[Emmy Mira]

It had brutal scenes, but since thats what books like that are all about and it's what makes it unique, I believe it deserves all the stars.
