4,5/5. Matharu does it again! Not this book isn't perfect, but it's a very good one. First, the demonology guide at the end of the book (which is almost half of it in fact) is just awesome, marvelously illustrated (like the novella as well) and really bring some of those demons alive with a visual representation that was often what I had in mind and some time a bit less. The novella was very good as well bringing a character we heard of but barely knew. He isn't really a great hero, being a bit weak and all, and that bring a different dynamic to it all, which is really great. My only minus is that, having read all the books in the summoners so far, (except The Outcast) including the short stories only available in e-book, I just think I had enough of origin story/introduction to the world stories. This is a small part of the novella, but we go through all the coming into school, class, magic system and all, which are explain in almost half of his book, and even if it's great, is very easy to understand it all, so no need for repeating it over and over. Yes that give multiple choice of story and way to enter this universe and that is good, but for those who read it all, it became repetitive. I would still recommend it because the story is good and the demonology guide will please every fans of this series. Entirely worth it!
