The beginning of this novel worried me a bit, because I didn't like the previous book and this one started in similar fashion - Eddie going and killing bad people effortlessly. The villains sounded very similar to the previous one - evil conspiracy, more secret than the Droods and with hellish intention - to make Humanity do something terrible and to gift it to Satan. But the book was readable and so I continued to read it and in the end, I was pleased. The villains proved to be dangerous and disgusting and the good guys for once suffered terrible losses from their hands. The final battle was well made and real close. And then came the ending, which was the best part. Far better than the one in the previous book - you knew that it would end well. But the new one... things might really be getting nasty.
Overall, I am happy. Green pleased me again and it is good to know that he hasn't lost his skill as a fantasy great.
