Advantages: Scary with a good story Disadvantages: Childish for some.
The second book in the Demonata series is Demon thief! This series of books is peculiar as there are 3 main protagonists. This was done to keep the reader guessing who was going to die! The author felt readers would like to know that no one is safe, not even the main characters! Each book follows the perspective of one of these protagonists and in this book we meet the second of the trio.
His name is Kernel Fleck. I do enjoy the names Shan creates, they are as unusual as him! Anyway Kernel begins the book as a relatively normal boy. He has parents and a little brother.

i think the fact that the plot was based in Italy and the fact ...
