By this book, I found myself wishing that the author had explored earlier themes. There was promise in her being one of the death collectors, working through and with her boss, and the mythology there. Instead, it feels as though the series has gone off the rails...the protangonist becomes a Mary Sue who kicks everything's ass (thousand year old demon lords aren't an issue), screams and yells when she doesn't get her way, and is someone I cannot stand. Maybe that was the intent? I could almost see this being a parody of the urban fantasy genre...specific elements taken to extremes. I really liked the plot, but the writing could be improved. Also, the dialogue feels unnatural. What annoyed me was instead of showing the action, we're explained the reason for the action that took place. For example, "(quote will come later)". By stopping to explain it, the story was stopped as well. This is what I mean by the writing not flowing. I feel I am building momentum, the action just starts, and BAM, everything stops in order for the reason to be explained. This jerky movement happens throughout the whole book.As for the characters, I still don't feel that they are fully developed. I really think that the author needs to look at them from a mortal point of view. If they had no powers, what makes them so interesting?
