in a much funnier demonata canon grubbs wouldve taken vein back with him and this would be them. wolf boy and his emotional support disgusting crocodile headed german shepherd demon with human lady hands instead of paws. but instead she was exploded.

Demonata, Darren Shan, June 6, 2005 to October, YA Book

Oh do I have a bone to pick with you. This series was so good with the first few books but once all the characters are together? Shit.

Bec could’ve easily been so helpful during the last part but noooo let’s make her not tell anyone the plan and have the two main characters think she betrayed them and have them to pick up the dying scraps of humanity? Let’s just have Grubbs force his “friend” Kernal to keep fighting the hopeless fight.

And for what? They don’t get anything at the end. They destroy the universe and have to rebuild it. And the demon who started all of this chaos for them doesn’t even get to be punished? These are children! Holy fuck, Lord Loss ruined the lives of these three kids and he gets nothing!

Meanwhile these said kids have to rebuild the universe from scratch. They won’t ever see their families, friends, not even earth, for years! They are forced to be gods when they didn’t even finish school! They fought and clawed just to have to do more work.

Imagine you lose your entire family to a force you can’t control. And now you have to watch as 1000s of civilizations die and grow and you have to be the one do to do that. By the time earth comes you’ve seen it all happen over and over again.

TLDR: The Demonata ending sucked because they’re making these teens fight to try and save the world only for them to have wait billions of years to even see the start of earth, and the demon who killed their families still gets to walk away scott free

Has this man written a good series like...ever?

so we can all agree that Shark would have pointy teeth like a shark right? like mr shan didn’t just expect me not to interpret a character with the name Shark as not having pointy teeth like a shark

While reading Trials of Apollo, I'm looking back on how I got into reading books because I wasn't a reader as a kid.

Reading novels wasn't fun for me, which impacted my reading development. I couldn't focus on the words, and I lost track of my lines. By the time I was in fifth grade, I had the reading level of a 2nd grader.

Hitting middle school, I stumbled upon Cirque du Freak while everyone was reading Twilight. It was a fun series, and the next thing I knew, I was reading The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod in high school.

Then I came upon Percy Jackson at my high school book fair. The rest is history.

It's just a wild thought, really.

This was the last demon to draw... I suck at anything remotely humanoid but I gave it a go. I know the anatomy/ body proportions are off and the tail was a fuck up too 😅
