Rendition Concering Books The Demon's Lexicon (The Demon's Lexicon #1)
Sixteen-year-old Nick and his brother, Alan, are always ready to run. Their father is dead, and their mother is crazy—she screams if Nick gets near her. She’s no help in protecting any of them from the deadly magicians who use demons to work their magic. The magicians want a charm that Nick’s mother stole—and they want it badly enough to kill. Alan is Nick’s partner in demon slaying and the only person he trusts in the world. So things get very scary and very complicated when Nick begins to suspect that everything Alan has told him about their father, their mother, their past, and what they are doing is a complete lie. . . .Particularize Books In Pursuance Of The Demon's Lexicon (The Demon's Lexicon #1)

I lived in utter terror that this wouldn't be as awesome as I wanted it to be, because I am paranoid that way. But it is awesome and it's deep and it's dark and it's moving and it's funny (though not quite as funny as I expected, but it makes up for that by being way more intriguing than the first few chapters might imply).So, what's it about? I can't tell you, I am sworn to secrecy. Well not really, only about info that hasn't been released yet. Cause the book doesn't come out till the 1st ofSo this book was not what I expected. I expected to like it more. I expected to more grabbed by the plot, the characters, the villains. I expected to read it in less than 2 days and then be running to the library for book 2. Instead it was just meh.The only character I like was Nick. I loved that he was apologetically cold and basically emotionless. He didn't care for others and didn't understand why he should. I loved that we finally got a character who didn't feel the need to change this about
Although I spent most of the time cursing the male lead Nick for being a fxxking jerkass while I read this book, still the awesome ending is enough to make up for it. Plus the older brother Alan, he really rocks!But still, ******PLOT SPOILER WARNING******(view spoiler)[ I can't believe in the middle of the book, the author had dropped SO MANY hints to point out Nick is a demon---or at least a demon who possesses a human body. (hide spoiler)]**********END OF SPOILER****** I can see it coming
I did not set out to love this book; the bar was too high. The word Demon itself, to me, is owned by Jonathan Stroud and Cassandra Clare. Even the main character, Nick, was about as grouchy about starring in the story as I was reading it. (I had half a mind to suggest to him that we both go our separate ways except for the inclination that he would probably have said it to me first) And then we found each other, Nick and I, and though we were both cross, there was the matter of good-natured Alan
I like this book, but I think I'm prejudiced. I mostly added it to my books so I could look at it and smile in its direction... (edited because on reflection I cannot be unbiased.)
Initial reaction: Review to come when I can find words to describe how much this book swallowed me into the journey, characters and respective conflict. I really enjoyed this and it rather surprised me.Full review:And I'm yet again impressed reading another book from Sarah Rees Brennan. I figured since I enjoyed "Unspoken" so much and since it will be some time before the sequel releases, I'd check into her "Demon's Lexicon" series. Reactions of this book were mixed on my friends list on
Young adult urban fantasy with teenaged brothers running from evil magicians and demons.All right, this impressed me. I classified it in the first chapter as 'YA urban fantasy with demons: species generic,' but then the protagonist just kept happening. He's fifteen and a sociopath, not to put too fine a point on it, who would see the whole world burn without a qualm as long as his brother is safe. The close POV on him in all his disfunction, and the emotional nuances he does and doesn't get, is
