I have to say to took me awhile to get into this book....maybe because it starts off so dark, maybe because I was unfamiliar with the entire demonology repertoire, or maybe it was because he was taking turns writing of three different character's stories and I just wasn't given enough in the beginning to truly get into any of their stories....that being said, I am glad I stuck with it. After about 200+ pages it turned and hooked me. It is dark and gory, but the characters, Arlen, Leesha, and Rojer are fantastic (Rojer did take bit to grow on me though)...the more I read, the more I become tied to the characters. I have already started the Desert Spear and I am even more of a fan. Great series!!
