The extraordinary measures people would take to ensure their survival and that of their families seem to be the subject of the novel. Action, magic, and a diverse cast of creatures are all combined in this fantasy book.

Thank you for your thorough and insightful review!

"Demonslayer" seems to capture the reader's attention from the start. Characters dealing with a terminal illness and battling demons with a sword sounds like a unique blend of reality and magic. In addition, it has an unpredictable plot, which I love books that are written like that. It makes you want to read it all at once in one sitting. Congrats #BOTD

Your review is very thorough, Stephanie, and after sampling this book, I agree with your thoughts. I also enjoyed the scene transitions, vivid imagery, and thoroughly developed characters. It does feel like a perfect read for epic fantasy fans.

Great review! Funny enough, looking at the synopsis of this book, it bears quite a few similarities to the manga/anime series, Demon Slayer. However, I’d be amiss not to note that there are some clear distinctions as well, [hopefully] making it a completely different story. I guess I’d just have to read to find out.

Congrats on BOTD!

Thanks for such an in-depth review! It's fascinating to hear how Demonslayer balances complex character development with an action-packed plot. The contrast between Spirit’s struggle and the demon conflict sounds particularly engaging. I appreciate knowing about the vivid details and moments of humor—Dimitri's tie ritual sounds amusing! Definitely a book worth picking up.

Just like the title of the book, characters name are all so unique. Also having more characters in the tale adds interesting edge to the story. Good read for imaginary fiction!

"Demonslayer" by Ian P. Eviston is an exciting fantasy adventure. It follows Spirit Clayborn, who fights underground battles to save his sick sister, Emily, and discovers a hidden power. Although fantasy stories are not my interest, acknowledgement of the books vivid writing and deep character development makes a book i would love to read. This book blends action, emotion, and humor. it is a must-read for me. Thank you for the great review!.

Demonslayer is a book filled with fantasy and magic, where family love is enough drive to keep fighting. I just wish the vivid descriptions were accompanied by illustrations.
