This book seems to inspire hope. I can imagine what Spirit had to go through to cater for Emily. He even had to lose an arm in the process. However, when it seemed all his hopes were gone, help came and hope was renewed. This story already sound good.

**Book Review: "Demonslayer" by Ian P. Eviston**

"Demonslayer" by Ian P. Eviston is a gripping start to the Vanguard Chronicles, blending fantasy, action, and deep character development. The story follows Spirit Clayborn, who lives in the slums of Crossus with his sister, Emily. After their parents are arrested, they struggle to survive. When Emily is diagnosed with leukemia, Spirit enters dangerous underground fights to pay for her treatment. In a critical fight against Meiko, Spirit discovers a hidden power, summoning a magical sword that turns the tide. Despite losing an arm, he is saved by mysterious allies Zix and Iggy, who promise a cure for Emily if Spirit joins the Vanguard and passes their tests.

Parallel to Spirit's story, Archdemon Xaxus builds a demonic army to enslave humanity, defying his father's peace treaty with humans. The internal conflict within the demon hierarchy adds depth to the plot, showcasing different motivations and struggles. Astaroth, torn between loyalty to the peace treaty and the reality of demon famine, brings a nuanced perspective to the demon side of the story.

Eviston excels in character development, introducing a diverse cast of Vanguard members. Spirit, a metal summoner, Amelia, a strategic enchanter, Dimitri, a water-manipulating titan, Skylar, an ambitious fire titan, and Taya, a compelled summoner, form a cohesive and dynamic team. Their interactions and growth add richness to the narrative.

The writing is vivid and immersive, making the action scenes thrilling and the emotional moments poignant. Eviston's attention to detail brings the world of Crossus to life, making it easy to visualize each scene. Humor is cleverly woven into the story, providing light moments amidst the tension.

I rate "Demonslayer" five out of five stars. It's a compelling read for young adults who enjoy action-packed fantasy with well-developed characters and an unpredictable plot. The blend of personal struggles and epic battles makes it a standout in the genre. I eagerly await the next installment in the Vanguard Chronicles.

I have nothing negative to say about this epic fantasy story. The vivid details of each moment were easy to envision. The emotions of every person were relatable, and I understood their motivation. There were moments of humor in the unpredictable plot. For instance, Dimitri always wore a tie, a dress shirt, and slacks. When in training, he carried seven identical outfits. If something was torn or dirty, he would change. In one scene, he took his tie off and folded it so it wouldn’t get dirty.

I didn't see that one coming in such a dark story. But I really appreciate authors who can pull off a little humor among grim subjects. And the book's premise is original.
Thank you!

Well, on a humorous note, I'd rather read about Angels and Light than Demons. They give me the geebees, and nothing good comes from that. I'm sure Lan P. Eviston's "Demonslayer" is a fantastic read, as commended in the review. Although fantasy is not my interest, it is excellent to know that the plot was well thought out and developed. I wondered if Spirit was able to recover his lost arm magically. Well, if you're wondering like me and you're a fan of fantasies, go for it!
