![]() It gets a bit unwieldy as it goes on by adding too many uninteresting POVs but most of the characters in Into the Abyss matter (at least in the first 3/4 of the book…the army generals and wizards that get introduced as POV characters later are forgettable and boring). The story turned out not to be clunky, either, which was a fantastic surprise. Being a powerful demon yet a slave is a contradiction, and this story is riddled with uncomfortable moments for Tom while he comes to terms with not being human (yet still obviously remembering and thinking of himself as human) and with being a pawn in a magical war where both sides (there are 2 powerful wizards at war) are afraid of him. Tom’s soul is effectively ripped from him, he dies, and he’s bound as a demon slave in Astlan. Tom, a normal boy in our world, goes to a party and gets summoned into another world–as a powerful demon. I pulled this book from a recommendation thread on r/Fantasy, and the premise was entertaining. ![]()
