About this listen

Outcast and exiled, the demon Tarrik Nal-Valim has long been forgotten by the world of humans. At least, so he thinks. But when he is summoned as a last resort by a desperate sorcerer, it seems as though his past has caught up with him.

The sorcerer is Serenity “Ren” Branwen, the daughter of Tarrik’s former master - and friend. Though she seems cold, driven, and ruthless, Tarrik can tell Ren has her back against a wall, and he is compelled by ferocious powers to obey her.

As their world sinks into a terrifying maelstrom of murder, intrigue, and insurrection, Tarrik is forced to serve Ren’s arcane designs - plans that, if they were to succeed, would resurrect unimaginable power and could destroy Tarrik’s entire race.

But as events unfurl, the lines between demon and master become blurred, and Tarrik realizes Ren is not what she seems. To prevent utter devastation, Tarrik may have to surrender what he values most: a chance at redemption and an end to his exile.

I was expecting good things from the summary but all that happens is the main character thinking and being stupid and boring no good development ever happens and I'm over it 9.5 hours in and I'm not listening to it anymore

Boring as hell

This was an absolutely fantastic book! Set in the same universe as the book Revenant Winds, but set on another continent and a few hundred years before R.W. It follows a demon, Tarrik Nal-Valim who is summoned and bound into slavery by a seemingly nefarious sorcerer working to bring back a mad Arch demon.
set entirely from Tarrik's p.o.v, it actually manages to make a demon protagonist likeable. His struggle against the indignity and injustice of slavery was surprisingly deep and meaningful.
As a fantasy book alone, the story was compelling. I just had to keep listening to find out what happened next.
Initially, I wasn't sold on the narrator, I have to grudgingly admit that his voice grew on me. I still prefer the one who did Revenant Winds, but this one did a good job.
All in all, I really can't recommend this book enough!

Sympathy for the devil.
