2018 School Spending Survey Report
Daphne, daughter of a demon and a fallen angel, leaves Hell to search for her favorite sibling, whos missing on Earth. She ascertains that a self-destructive mess of a boy, Truman, is the likeliest candidate to help. Alternating perspective shows how dissimilar their worlds are, and romantics will find their eventual, hard-earned love even more compelling for the many distances between them.
It certainly isn't easy being the daughter of a demon and a fallen angel, but Daphne didn't quite realize how protected she was inside Pandemonium, a city in Hell, until her favorite sibling, Obie, disappears on Earth, likely having fallen victim to the vengeful demon hunter Azrael. Daphne quickly ascertains that a self-destructive mess of a boy, Truman, is the likeliest candidate to help her find her brother: Truman was one of Obie's last human-angel misfit cases, but she needs to sober him up and keep him alive long enough to actually assist her. The alternating narration from the first-person voice of Daphne, who is clear in her mission even while she is scrambling to understand Earth, to the close third-person used with Truman is highly effective in showing how dissimilar their perspectives and worlds truly are, and romantics will find their eventual, hard-earned love even more compelling for the many distances between them. The harsh steel beauty of Pandemonium, particularly when juxtaposed with the gritty sludge that is most of what Daphne sees of Earth (though she revels in the "aliveness" of it all) will inevitably evoke questions of which is more hellish, and the climax further blurs the lines. april spisak
