A quick story with (obviously) philosophical undertones. It was interesting to see how a great mind got by and what they were willing to do to secure their legacy in the end. Also how certain events and situations can change a person. Even if they are not inherently human.
My one grievance is that the story is told in an alternating first person perspective. I'm not sure how its formatted in the physical version but the audiobook does not note when switching from Saloninus to the demon. As a result, it can get very confusing when they shift from one person to the other.
