Wow!!! Brom is truly a master and an artist. The writing of this book was perfection, and made me imagine the world so vividly. I also love how not a single character was completely good or bad. It had me questioning who to believe or root for constantly. And even though this is based on a well known fairy tale, it still felt completely new and original. 
Absolutely loved it and I want to read everything else Brom has written. 
Read from the BYU library.

The worldbuilding and art was awesome. I liked the story but even though a lot happens the book feels very slow. So I stopped reading and started the audiobook (which was amazing). The book wasn’t my favourite, because the pace felt weird and it didn’t grip me. There were also some holes in the story for example the mist destroys weapons like guns and bomb but at the first battle the Volk of Avalon was shot down by bomb
I am not sure how I feel about the ending. The „not happy ending“ is great as a teaching moment for Peter and his willingness to follow the lady blindly even if the cost is the live of all the devils. The book should have ended with him crying and remembering all the children lost in his campaign, but no the next second he’s laughing and happy because he has the power of the horned one. The captains perspective and his love for Danny was my favourite book and I which we would get to know how their future looks like.
