Review of The Demon of Reginhart
This book has an exquisite, well thought out storyline about discovering both self-worth, love and understanding.
Though all these aspects sound good, this book can have a bit of a dark setting at times when it comes to certain descriptions of murders, characters going insane, or profanity wise. However for the most part it is light on the gore, but not always.
The story is well balanced having some of the chapters be told through the different three main characters, Marcus (the contract), Asmara (the mage) and Tiecus (the demon) each experiencing and influencing the world in interestingly different ways, for either having a different background and culture, or in Marcus' case, having no history at all.
Through most of the story Markus leads the trio, who shares one body, having to be the wall and the contract between the demon and the mage. He mostly knows about the culture of the demon and the mage, knowing little to nothing about humans. He, however, does fall in love with a human named Platt and struggles to express himself to her. Alongside all this, Markus is bound by many contracts, some of which belong to the king named Valder who sends him to the town of Reginheart to defend it from a people known as the Tier Naug.
It is not initially clear but each character and even areas has their own stories and plots moving and unraveling throughout the story. With both history and present events playing a large role. The plot is thought out quote richly, that even The demon of Reginheart title has more meanings than one. The story also has an amazing magic syste using the four elements, names, illusions, mind reading and influencing etc. All of it explained well with wonderful understanding.
Throughout the story there is a building and increasing use in profanity and also the sexual scenes and tension become more and more detailed. This is done quite well and carries both the characters, their personalities and understanding and also the flow of the story itself making it flow seamlessly wit a mixture of action, fantasy, exposition and erotica.
Overall, the Demon of Reginheart is a magnificently written book with an entire world of its own a magic system that is well defined and explained beautifully and also multiple meanings to even simple folktales. I would definitely recommend this book with a 3/4 rating to anyone who enjoys magic; fantasy; sexualities; four-dimensional plots and, of course, magic in a single story.
