This is definitely your standard coming of age story which is fine because they often work really well. The religions and world is well done but then the problems start. Hero had powers but from where ie we start the story after the usual "discovery of powers chapter" . Hero eventually starts on a journey to somewhere ...and then this book ends. No real build up. The overall feeling is of part of a book from a series. There are odd inconsistencies in characterization that are also annoying - too good hero who lies to his girlfriend and has her run away with him to further the plot....heroes blind trust in a demon from the abyss...but I Gould have waited for those to resolve themselves in book 2 except for the fact that this isn't even a complete book. It's like reading about someone on the run from the law who enters a safe house...and that's it. Very unsatisfying.
