Loading... Bulletproof Witch: Curse of the Daemon Beast (Episode 2)by Francis James Blair
None No current Talk conversations about this book.  egaston | Dec 5, 2019 |   The Curse of the Daemon Beast is another fast-paced adventure following Temperance Whiteoak, Pistol Witch. Episode 2 is significantly longer and more fleshed out than Episode 1, though it is still a self-contained episode. We get to see Temperance play a little more of the detective in this one, as well as getting some glimpses of her past. The additional characterization really aids in bringing the world to life a bit more, and helps give her motivations context in a way we were missing in the first installment. We’re still missing a lot of history for the world at large, but it never makes the reader feel lost, just stokes curiosity. By the end, the episode’s plot is well concluded and there are again signs of larger plots on the horizon. And of course, there is more fabulous artwork by Jin Lee, bringing scenes to life in such wonderful style. Episode 2 takes place as a direct sequel to Episode 1, as Temperance and Astor head off to find and recapture the daemon Belial, and get caught up in a small town’s mystery. Between “current-day” chapters, we get occasional sections that show us the events of her home town on the fateful day she lost everything, and the few days following. It adds context and heart to her past, which previously we only knew was tragic. If you liked Episode 1, I’d certainly recommend continuing the adventure with this installment. If you like weird westerns with magic-slinging pistols, talking horses, daemons, and a bit of whodunnit thrown in, this book is right up your alley.

Temperance Whiteoak is the last surviving heir to her grandfather's legacy. Gunslinger. Daemon-hunter. Witch. Able to call forth powerful magicks with the pull of a trigger. With her faithful talking horse Astor, she travels across Korvana, searching for the daemon that killed her family and destroyed her town. Hot on the trail of the daemon Belial, Temperance finds herself in a remote mountain town. Far from the nearest road and not marked on any map, Shady Hollow has a daemon problem of its own that needs solving. The job is simple--defeat the monster, save the town. However, Shady Hollow is hiding its own secrets, ones the townsfolk would prefer stay hidden and buried. Each attack draws Temperance closer to the truth, but that truth may find her on the wrong side of the dirt, if she isn't careful. CURSE OF THE DAEMON BEAST is the second installment in a planned eight-part series. The book includes six illustrations by artist Jin A Lee. No library descriptions found. |
