For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. The general idea of Satan’s daughter integrating into human society was great, and I think it was well portrayed. I really enjoyed the main plot. I recommend this book to those who enjoy a good love triangle and cool demonic fights. And also for those of you who enjoy the aesthetics of pretty books. The chapter headers are cool, which I really appreciate.

From the sample, the writing style appeared to be enjoyable. The author described and explained everything well. The text flowed. It was quite suspenseful as I was not sure what to expect. It was interesting how the story was told from Cecelia's perspective, even when she was a 3-day old baby. The main character seems interesting and complex. The idea of Cecelia escaping and attending a human school is truly unique. The theme of good and evil is always a successful one. Fantasy is also a popular escapist theme that will appeal to many. Although the book appears to be well written and I think it will prove popular, particularly to young adults, I probably won't be recommending it to others, as this genre is not my favourite. Well done to the author for her creativity and imagination.

For me, the zest of any novel lies in the well-developed portrayal of characters and an unforeseeable story plot. Vagabond displayed excellence in the presentation of every element, be it romance, mystery, action, or darkness. I would, therefore, agree with a higher rating for this book. The book contains violence and paranormal romance that makes it more suitable for young adults.

Couldn't agree more however I would add that the characters were also some of the best I've seen.

Overall, it has a fantastic plot. There is an internal battle of good and evil that one must face as driven by emotions and feelings. I also felt strange when I started reading it's first chapter but I grasped it eventually. The humor is engaging and the I can relate with the characters. It excellently portrayed an individual trying to discover his/her role and place in the world. It's thought-provoking narrative. Imma give it its deserved perfect stars.

The author did a great job in the character development and the writing style is noteworthy.
Introducing suspense and romance got me immersed while reading, and these two contents were my reason for the full rating.

Amazing characterisation mixed with impeccable plot development really makes this book worthy of praise. To see a story told from the POV of Satan's daughter rather than other possible biblical characters makes this book really stand out.

I really enjoy stories like this. I would give this book the highest Rating. The story was very interesting and well thought out. It included lots of interesting elements; as already mentioned by others above, that keeps the reader engaged and wanting to find out more. The plot twists and turns and all the good verses evil are very appealing to many readers. Yes I would recommend it to specific people in my circle.

On the first read, I am enjoying reading the book. It explores an intriguing element of fantasy, bringing Lucifer's daughter to the center of events. Cecilia is a lovable character, and the plot is well put together and engaging. It's four out of four for me for now.

I'm not so fund of fantasy so for me the story is not so much attracting, but the plot is kind of new. I like the POV writing style. And I will recommend this to fantasy lovers. Those who like suspense and thriller may not like it a lot.

I gave this book a 4 out of 4 stars for many reasons. The character development was phenomenal and the plot was unique and very engaging. The conversations were humorous and relatable. At first the book felt a little strange but as I kept reading, it became even more intriguing. I loved Cecillia’s character. It was eye opening to see things from her own perspective as Satan’s daughter. I also enjoyed the elements of romance and suspense that were woven into the plot. This kept me enthralled through out. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fantasy novel with a unique touch. There was nothing to hate about this book. So so good!

I give this book 4 out of 4 stars as this plot was unique to me . I have read many stories about lucifer but here the daughter comes in picture and the storyline takes a twist.I appreciate the smooth narration of the story but i thing the author could have worked more on the character representation of her daughter.
