There is an exemplification of loyalty, sacrifice and pure, deep love. The Clayborn kids were dedicated to one another—Emily taking on an early adult role and Spirit putting himself in harm's way multiple times for her well-being. Together, they show the importance of family and having each other's backs.

There are no winners in a war. Yaxus believed this to be so.

Yaxus believed that there are no winners in a war. A theme that goes against the grain of this idea is that with limited resources and starvation affecting the population, war is necessary to gain resources and feed the population. Xaxus and the majority of demons believed this to be the case. For Xaxus, the winners of the war get the resources and full bellies.

From my observation Demonslayer explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and moral choices.The book also tackles ethical dilemmas in conflict and the harsh reality of war as a means of survival, challenging the idea of clear winners. Themes of perseverance, forgiveness, and acceptance add depth to the story as well. These are the themes I found in this book.

Loyalty and Forgiveness stand out for me, especially from the sample I read of the book, although other thematic concerns like sacrifice and tolerance also stand out. I'm interested in loyalty and forgiveness because they're the fabric of love and inform how human beings live with and relate to each other.

I must say that the key themes that standout in the book are love and loyalty. These attributes were very much shown by Emily and Spirit Clayborn. They were devoted to each other, and their love shown through throughout the book. Their bond as siblings is quite envious.

Another theme that I noticed is that all people need someone to look out for them and to be on their side. Spirit looks out for his cancer-fighting sister, and Dimitri looks out for Skylar who suffers from ADHD, anxiety, and pyromania.
