Review: 4 out of 5 stars
Contains possible spoilers from the Runes series.
Demons is a
continuation of the Runes series but from Eiriks POV.
Eirik is Raine from the
Runes series best friend and has recently found out that he is the son of Baldur, God of Light and has been
hidden in the human world not having any idea of who his real parents were. I
have always loved Eirik, he was a strong character so it was great to read from
his POV and see the changes in him – there is more anger but he is trying
to adapt to his new life.
We
follow Eirik into the world of Hel in order for him to meet his birth mother,
Goddess Hel who rules the underworld but his welcome is definitely not what he
expected and he ends up thrown in the dungeon until he can prove himself to
her. The dynamic between Baldur and Hel was certainly interesting but my heart
broke for Eirik and what we learn of his past.
Celestia Devereaux is a seventeen year-old witch in
training and is able to astral project to save others; this is how she first
met Eirik or so she thought. Celestia was pretty amazing! She has such a strong
personality and complimented Eririk well. She is strong willed, determined, a
little stubborn but also very sweet. There is a prediction about Celestia in that she would one day be responsible for
destruction and the harbinger of death, something that she fights with every
day and keeps secret but I loved her witch pride and the way that she was so
eager to help everyone that she was able to astral project to.
I
thoroughly enjoyed Ednah Walters’ world-building, it is full of norse mythology
and intrigue, with a really sweet slow to burn budding romance, my favourite!
The mythology was well explained and I loved learning more about the souls and
other creatures that reside in Hel.
We
meet some great side characters, I loved Trudy; a gigantress and it was great
to see a reappearance from Echo.
I have
read all of Ednah Walter’s series and enjoy her engaging writing style. She
writes incredible characters that are true to life and storylines that keep you
mesmerised and wanting more.
