 Received as an ARC from Netgalley:

THIS WAS A MASSIVE SURPRISE in all of the best ways. The novel is very epic in scope but manages to make a globetrotting adventure feel very character focused. The main cast is endlessly loveable and the main plot keeps you guessing until the very end.

A fail son nepo-Demon is forced to take charge of a curse he's been mismanaging for years. I won't delve more into the plot as the ride is really worth it. You begin the book thinking it's going to be more strictly comedy focused but it manages to balance comedy, horror, and action exceptionally well.

Easily one of my favourite reads of the year that left me with tears by the end because you just love the main cast so much.
