This was so incredibly disappointing, although to be fair to the book I think I set myself up for disappointment. I just assumed I would love this book, the interesting premise made me expect beautiful writing and an interesting main character.
Instead I found mediocre writing and the most fantastically uninteresting character ever. What is the point in a character predestined to be evil? He's not human and so it is not interesting when he behaves less than human, books about horrible people doing horrible things can be amazingly engaging, but there was literally no point to this. He's just an evil guy who is truly purely evil for all of his evil life, ok... who cares?
It was at times funny, so i suppose that's nice
