Review of The Devil Pulls the Strings
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Devil Pulls the Strings" by J. W. Zarek.]
Musician Boone Daniels resides in Wentzville, Missouri. He occasionally goes to Ren Fairs and spends weekends hanging out with his friend's band, The Village Idiots. At the Ren Faire, Daniels inadvertently stabbed Flynn with his lance during a joust. Flynn was taken to the hospital by this catastrophe. Flynn promised Daniels that he would perform at the band's New York City event as payment for his activities. Boone had no idea what would transpire. The Devil Pulls The Strings by J.K. Zarek is a Supernatural fiction novel with a variety of locales, creatures, and eras. Certain traits of the book are precisely described as they are in real-world legends and history.
The world of the supernatural with different creatures, settings, time periods, time traveling and pocket dimensions. Even though that is the case, the storyline in the plot is so easy to catch up to even for people who do not really vibe with those kinds of things. The novel is fast paced meaning that the author writes as though he does not focus on one scene, describing every little unnecessary detail about the scene.
The main character, Boone Daniels meets Ms. Anjou who is seemingly a daughter of the violin as she is passionate at playing the instrument. The two of them get caught up in a conflict between the Dragons and Nymphs Society and the Lavender and Roses Society, two covert organizations competing over Paganini’s music. Their adventures are filled with the most magical, occasionally dangerous, and the most unpredictable twists and turns. Along the way, Daniels discovers new things about himself, heals all his past traumas, and enters a whole new realm of real magic and the paranormal. His encounter with Ms. Anjou, a French violinist at heart who is genuinely involved in the war between the two cultures, marked the beginning of his adventures, which have continued ever since. Boone most likely did this because he was bored or because he had fallen in love with the woman. In any case, there was tension between the two, but the novel didn't really go into detail about their bond. I wish the author had, but since this isn't a romance book, there aren't many scenes where there's any real tension between the two of them.
Some books have an excessive number of characters with difficult-to-remember names. Yet, J.K. Zarek does an excellent job of creating and defining the characters so that they are distinctive and simple to recall. The author does not become engrossed in a particular scenario or oversimplify the current environment by including every single pointless detail. The Devil Pulls The Strings does a wonderful job of quickly describing the scenes while still making it simple for the readers to picture them.
Because the entire plot is based on Paganini's music, I believe this book is ideal for persons who are really interested in classical music, especially his compositions. It is also beneficial for those who do not easily get lost between the topics teleporting time and. Although there is a glossary at the end of the book, it might be helpful to search for the pictures of the places and creatures online as there are many things to picture out and for the reader to not be misinformed by the definitions. Having an idea of the locations and time periods that are discussed in this book is very helpful because there are many things to picture out. Overall, I give this a 5 out of 5 because it is well written, edited, and researched. There is a healthy balanced mix of mundane daily life and supernatural adventures.
