I’d say the Demon Lord is a major reason I’m reading this story—definitely not the only one, the plot has me hooked too—but let’s be honest… he’s the gravitational pull.
There’s just something about a morally complicated, slightly unhinged, devastatingly composed being who could probably end kingdoms before breakfast, yet smiles so beautifully. It does things to the brain chemistry.
