Slaying Monsters for the Feeble is the second book in the Demonized series and like the ninth in the Guild Codex universe. Robin and Zylas have made a couple of deals with one another centering around her protection and his return to the demon realm. But there's more than just a contract between them, they have the abilities to work magic that neither has ever heard of before and the mystery is getting a lot more complicated than just figuring out the specifics of Summoning.
I'm really loving this book and these characters. I think that everything is really being given the attention it deserves and nothing is just happening instantly or without consideration. Robin hasn't practiced magic for pretty much her whole life and that shows in her ability to use it, but she's also very driven and practical about it. There's also the whole cultural difference thing between her and Zylas and they really manage that on a case by case basis. But they take the time to talk it out (most of the time) and I think it really creates an interesting bond between them. There's real substance to the argument that humans haven't put the time in to really understand demons and vice versa and you can see that through their interactions.
Yeah I'm loving the plot and the characters and the building romance. I think that the rest of the series has a lot of potential but I've really loved it so far and totally understand what's going on. It has a lot of solid lore and a lot of sold development through and through.
