This book didnt work nearly as well as the first one in the series. The number one reason why was that this is told from the point of view of Mae one of the secondary characters from Demons Lexicon. I felt wishy-washy about her before and that didnt really change now. The strength of the first book was Nick . He (hes a demon in a human body) is interesting. Mae not so much.The first 2/3rd of the book dragged for me with not much happening. There are also a number of coincidences that I foundSarah's first book The Demon's Lexicon will go down in history as one of the greatest young adult urban fantasy books to ever hit the shelves. I was mesmorised and compelled with how she structured this magical story into something that seemed to come to life on the pages. She managed to create a world within the world we all know, create characters that you can root for regardless of their motives. For me, when an author has an exceptionally amazing debut novel, the second book in the series
Sequel to the excellent The Demon's Lexicon. It took me nearly six months to crack it open, because I was so terrified that I wouldn't like it. FEAR NOT. review tbc.
I liked this one better than the first...mostly because you aren't stuck in Nick's head with all his relentless negativity and darkness the whole time. I still find the mythology a little confusing and I wasn't a fan of Mae playing kissy face with three--count 'em, THREE--boys, but I was sufficiently entertained enough that I'll be interested to see where the story goes next. I really want to love this series, but so far it's not really grabbing me in any compelling way.
I made it!Sorry, but Ive always wanted to find one of those pics to accompany my review. Isnt he cute? You totally want to forget he could attack you and high five him, dont you?Honestly, I really dont know exactly what happened here. I was so excited to read The Demons Covenant after finishing The Demons Lexicon, but somehow I had a hard time getting through it. The beginning drew me in immediately, but then there was this looong, dragging middle part that almost made me give up. Im glad I didn
The Demon's Covenant, the second book in a trilogy, takes place a few weeks after the events that occurred in The Demon's Lexicon. It follows Mae, only a secondary character in the first one, who now has to deal with the fact that her brother, Jamie, has magical powers and is being recruited from magicians everywhere, including the deadly Obsidian circle, now run by Gerald. Mae once again enlists the help of of brothers Nick and Alan, who are entangled in their fair share of dangerous magical
Reviewed by Lynn Crow for TeensReadToo.comA month ago, Mae thought she was happy with a normal life. Then she and her brother, Jamie, stumbled into the lives of Nick and Alan Ryves, and she discovered a world of magic she can't forget. She longs to return to the charms and dancing of the Goblin Market even as she tries to adjust to coming back home.Unfortunately for Mae, there's a darker side to the magic, where demons lurk and magicians offer the lives of others to gain power.
