Rachel MacNaught's Reviews > Demonsouled

I rather enjoyed reading this, though I found I became less interested as the plot played out. A strong start with an acidic protagonist at the helm soon became cliched and almost whiny while he was supposed to be falling into evil. His calculation became passion, even in his interactions with friends, and cheesed up everything. I found myself rolling my eyes at his quick burning instinct to murder everything rather than actually caring for how he got there.

Watching someone's soul unravel would have been much more impactful if his choices were less based on his rage and more on the calculating part of his mind we were introduced to. A good man who looked for ways to end a life within moments of encountering it out of habit. Rage isn't power. Rage is losing control. Rage put him on par with his weak brother and petered out the edge the book had.
The plot was very, very predictable and we are faced absolutely no suspense but it was still quite fun to read for some reason.

I'll read the next, I think. The strong start has me seeing potential.
