Sequel to the excellent The Demon's Lexicon. It took me nearly six months to crack it open, because I was so terrified that I wouldn't like it. FEAR NOT. review tbc.I was less pleased by this book than by its prequel. I thought it was more polished in some ways, but it didn't give me that visceral, heart-pounding, tingling excitement that I get from books that I really like (and that The Demon's Lexicon gave me).Part of that is due to the ending, which isn't quite a cliffhanger, but which very much has a feeling of unfinished business about it. And I feel like a stereotypical pre-teen boy for even mentioning this, but there is way too much kissing in this
Sequel to The Demons Lexicon. More demons, more magicians, more shenanigans, definitely more brothers.I am further impressed by the underlying cleverness and sharpness of this series. We all by which I mean sneering hipster book reviewers with more than two brain cells to rub together can explain at great length why Twilight and its young adult paranormal spawn are terrible for their intended audience because they portray creepy or frankly abusive male behavior as sexy or romantic. (Just dont
Sarah's first book The Demon's Lexicon will go down in history as one of the greatest young adult urban fantasy books to ever hit the shelves. I was mesmorised and compelled with how she structured this magical story into something that seemed to come to life on the pages. She managed to create a world within the world we all know, create characters that you can root for regardless of their motives. For me, when an author has an exceptionally amazing debut novel, the second book in the series
Sarah Rees Brennan's sequel to The Demon's Lexicon is seriously good. I have to admit that I had a hard time with The Demon's Lexicon and here's why: Lexicon is written in third person singular and it follows the movements of Nick Ryves. Nick is so cold, so unemotional, and I had a really difficult time connecting with him or even really caring about him. By the time I got to the end of the book I had realized that my reaction to Nick was really just evidence of Ms. Brennan's brilliance. And
4.5 stars.I am just so happy.So happy.I pretty much knew I would love this series. I did. But I had no idea what I was in store for.NONE. And I think that's a good thing. It means that expectations were met-and exceeded. I think it's pretty crazy that I was kinda spoiled for a few things(Thanks, sister!) and yet still was completely enamored by everything that was going on. This is, hands down, the best brother/sibling book I have ever in my life read. EVER. And, it must be said, I cried at
This book didnt work nearly as well as the first one in the series. The number one reason why was that this is told from the point of view of Mae one of the secondary characters from Demons Lexicon. I felt wishy-washy about her before and that didnt really change now. The strength of the first book was Nick . He (hes a demon in a human body) is interesting. Mae not so much.The first 2/3rd of the book dragged for me with not much happening. There are also a number of coincidences that I found
