The plot of this book is amazing and really captivating. I’m used to the usual ‘good people’ turning bad but never really the other way around. Satan’s daughter turning good is one hell of a story. I like how the daughter got mixed with humans and just the idea of families being so similar and yet so different is intriguing.

I loved this book, particularly the author’s writing style. It was simple but quite elegant.. The author’s creativity is something to be applauded. I don’t think I’ve ever come across another book with a similar plot or idea and for that alone, this book was special to me. It’s suspenseful and fun and keeps you interested right till the end.

I gave this book a 3 out of 4 stars rating. I enjoyed the twist on the private high school trope and the interesting history and lore included with the story. I disliked Cecilia's plot induced stupidity. The author also included some problematic ways of thinking in regard to Cecilia's relationship that I feel would be harmful to young adults reading this book.

When I first come across the phrase daughter of the devil,. That got 50% of my attention, now reading it, it was an eloquently constructed book. But my sister didn't like it, and I could relate the reason because her name is Cecilia.

My overall opinion of 'vagabond' was positive. I am personally a fan of paranormal romances, so the book was highly interesting on my behalf. The story of a supernatural princess escaping to the human realm and falling in love was sort of a cliche, but that is something that also doesn't get old. I also liked how the young adult novel had hints of humor embedded through the pages. I think the writing style was perfect, easy to read and comprehend. I would give it a 4 out of 4 stars and yup, I recommend the book to other people, especially to teenage girls and adolescents. They would most certainly find this book intriguing, much like other paranormal romances for e.g twilight, that are popular amongst their social group.

I just got done reading this book and found it to be a delightful read which was hard to put down. The idea of Cecilia being Lucifer's daughter and escaping from hell was a unique perspective. I loved the setting of the story and the interplay between characters, especially Cecilia, Sebastian. This book was well written in easy to read style that kept you on the edge of your seat with the plot's twists and turns. With all the demonic fighting, it was nice to have a romance story in there as well

Lucifer's daughter was an interesting character here. I can honestly say that the plot was unique because I can clearly see her point of view and I could see how she navigates across the human world. The narration was impeccable and the twists kept me on the edge of my seat!

Exactly, the romance was the balance the book needed. The author is really a systematic logician. Amazing book and thrilling. But on a serious note, Cecilia really had a very strong, stubborn yet understandable personality in the story. I totally agree with you.

I was excited to read Vagabond by Mary A.J after it was recommended by so many people. And honestly, I was not disappointed. I give the rating 3 out of 4 stars. I was drawn in by the author's creative writing style. But the pacing was a bit slow at times. I recommend it.

The storyline is a healthy mixture of so many concepts and has some surprising turns.
The "divinity" did it for me: hell, satan's daughter.
I'll rate it 4 out of 4 stars

Vagabond will appeal to fans of science fiction and fantasy. This book is brimming with innovative ingenuity on a grand scale. The love entanglement is triggering enough, even without the mantra around Lucifer's daughter Cecilia. Young readers will enjoy the conflict between demons and humans, as well as the presence of magical beings. i rate it 4 out of 4. kudos to Mary A. J.

Vampire stories always been attraction for most of the reader. And their interactions with human and the consequences like control the urge to drink blood and even stop oneself not to exposed. Very well plotted work.
