Thank you to the author for providing a review copy.
I hate having to write reviews like this. I wanted to love this book, very badly, but I never seemed to really connect with it. This book doesn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to deals with devils, and I found the whole thing somewhat predictable. Parts of the book felt overwritten. Paragraphs describing the scenery just kind of bores me, although I realize it's there to set an atmosphere. I was kind of bored with it, even though it contains a bunch of elements that I usually enjoy. 2.5 stars
