An OK book. Definitely better than book 2!
I had issue with the Native American character being referred to as 'the Indian' for the whole book. But aside from that enjoyable enough.

Honestly disappointed by this one. I've loved every other Terry Brooks I've read, but this was a total miss for me.
It goes in a weird murder mystery direction for so much of the book, which is such an unnatural/uncomfortable pairing with his fantasy writing. There was far too much corporate/business talk for me as well. So many boring conversations about bank accounts and finger print matching.
I enjoyed the youthful feel and nature setting of the 1st book in the series, which I think was well matched with the fantasy elements. But this one went in the totally opposite direction, and I missed all the element I loved from the first.
It also all just feels very dated.
Also, baffled that a demon in DEMON FORM would be scared of police and run away from them?? And the 'plot twist' was so obvious
I would have dnf'd if I wasn't so invested in the series.

One too many unrealistic conveniences for this to be a total winner for me, but still had a fun time reading!
Was immersive, well paced, and drama filled.
