I’m sure some of that will change in the next book, considering how this one ended, though. The plot isn’t something overly complicated and convoluted, which I really like? You can pretty easily follow it along as it’s straightforward and to the point.
It makes this a pretty fast read as well. There’s a lot of action throughout the novel, so there’s never a boring chapter. He’s the source of most of the (accidental) humor and I’m really interested about what’s going to happen to him. Zylas is also an amazing character and probably my favorite in the book. She is a bit way too naive at times, which can be really frustrating especially when that puts her in danger. This was fun! Robin’s a really nice POV character, as she’s new to the world of summoning and demons, so it’s interesting to learn about those things right along with her. There are some familiar faces from Spellbound, but nothing that’ll be confusing. I especially like Zylas and his reactions to learning about the human world and its humans. The plot isn’t all that complicated, but it’s still filled with a lot of tension, action, and danger.
The characters are complex, if not as mysterious, and the narrative is fast paced and compelling. The world-building is also really cool and well developed, especially as its delivered with a bit of humor along the way.Īnnette Marie is back with another series in The Guild Codex world and I have to say that I like this one better than Spellbound. Taming Demons for Beginners can be read as a first installment in a new standalone series (so if you haven’t read The Guild Codex: Spellbound, you’ll be fine) and it’s pretty engaging! Robin is a tiny bit way too naive for me, but her POV is really compelling and the situation she finds herself in with Zylas, a demon, hooks you in right from the beginning. Pretend I didn’t notice the shadowy being trapped inside it.
Pretend I didn’t find the summoning circle in the basement. And I’m supposed to act like I don’t know how illegal and dangerous it is.Īll I had to do was keep my nose out of it. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. When I arrived at my uncle’s house, I expected my relatives to be like me-outcast sorcerers who don’t practice magic.
