The insight into different perspectives, including that of demons, is a unique and compelling aspect highlighted in the review. Understanding the demons' lives and motivations creates a layer of empathy, making the conflict more nuanced. This complexity in character portrayal is something I find engaging.

I don't like sci-fi novels featuring paranormal elements. So I'll pass. Thanks for your review.

The review's excitement about the action-packed nature of the novel is infectious. The revelation about Spirit's hidden potential and the exploration of magic rules sound intriguing. I'm always drawn to stories with well-developed worlds and unexpected twists.

I understand that from the holistic point of view of rating, the story would have to have a lower rating. But for me, as long as I can understand it, I would read the book. I think I would enjoy it. The only thing that bothers me is the human-eating theme for the demons. It is too gross. I also understand that a shift in perspectives could be distracting. In fact, it could even be annoying. But if others could read it in one sitting, I think I am in. I could manage especially if it could hold my breath and interest with every suspense and action it promises.

I like the storyline of the book. I particularly like that the author created the demon characters with families. I don't really fancy books with lots of errors though. Thank you for a good review.

A battle between humans and demons! Not something I would normally read, but your summary was so well-written that now I am thinking I might give it a chance. It is too bad that the shifts in perspective lacked proper transitioning. Thanks for the honest review!

Congratulations to the author for getting the BOTD and I would like to read books like that. The review reminded me of Vampire diaries where everything was possible. The possibilities are endless. I wish the author all the best in their future endeavours.
Thanks I appreciate your words
Of course, have a good day and a successful life

I really love the books and ideas expressed in it. That's a job well done

The novel skillfully delves into the perspectives of both humans and demons, evoking sympathy for the latter. While the shifting perspectives could be clearer, the diverse cast of characters and the intricate world-building make for an engaging and immersive read. With its mix of magic, danger, and unexpected humor, "Demonslayer" offers a captivating and dynamic fantasy adventure.

I'm glad to read a new book, and new genre. As you mentioned it has a lot of errors and not properly edited. But I will try to read this one.
