I went into this wanting to like it more than I did, but it was slow going. Eventually it got to the point where the action took over and my interest increased - but I felt overwhelmed at times by the history of the characters (which I understand IS necessary, but it was just SO much).Still, I loved the Demonica Series, Ione's style and since the story did end up grabbing me at the end, I will continue with the series. If only to see Pestilence get what's coming to him.
