The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself: Now a major Netflix series

Product Information

When he first ran into Marcus, Nathan seemed calm as his father told the story of how he met his mother. They start to build a relationship again, but Nathan is faced with a difficult decision by the end. The ending took me by surprise due to the reappearance from a certain character. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I am eager to continue this series. Do I think it's the Next Big Thing? Who knows. But it's a damn good book.

He goes to the council for yearly assessments, where he is questioned about the father he's never met PS I also happened to like Marcus, he was quite fascinating, and I wish we got to learn more about him personally in this book. Annalise almost killed Jessica but could not go through with it, leaving Jessica to escape almost unscathed. Meanwhile, as Nathan and Soul fought, Annalise knew she was the only one who could kill her father following the prophecy ‘his own blood will kill the wolf’.As I got more in the book, the writing style changed to normal to tell the story of how we got there. However, it was slow and at some point it was really dragging. Most characters were just useless and weak. I saw some tentative plot of "Nobody is totally good or totally evil" but it was a big fail. Specially the dark witches who were bad just to have people in the dark side for the plot's sake.

Do you know a story that goes something like this >>>> There's a poor family consisting of a mother and her bunch of kids, each one from a different father. Then there's that one kid (or more) who had a dad who was known for causing trouble... maybe he drank a lot, got into fights, ended up in prison... you know the kid I'm talking about? The one who has that dad? Well, everyone expects he'll turn out just the same. Everyone has their eye on that kid his whole life, expecting him to become just like his father, watching for his first mistake. And it makes him angry that people constantly expect the worst of him. It makes him lash out and get into fights and become something of a delinquent. It makes him exactly what everyone expected him to be. And people nod their heads and say "See! I told you so". And no one will ever know if that kid was always his father's son or if the other people in his life made him that way.

What happens to Marcus Edge?

His one hope lies with the sinister Blood witch Mercury. But Mercury's help always comes at a price - one Nathan may not be able to pay . . . This review's a little short I know, I didn't have a whole lot to say about this book, but this is basically all my thoughts about it.
