Gareth's writing style reminds me a lot of Simon R Green. The book is overall good. The story is better than average. But what really stands out are the characters. The story bears a passing resembelnce to the classic tale of beowulf. The first several chapters deal with Cerebus, and his response to the murder of his mother the queen of the wolves. It was easy to get involved in the story, and I found that i empathized more with Cerebus.Eventually the focus shifts to Malik. I found the section where Malik is coming to grips with possibly being a demon to be my favorite. I liked the concept of a fallen guardian possession turning someone into an evil beast.For the price, this is an excellent book. At just over a hundred pages, it is short. But it is a good tale that will keep you occupied for a few hours. I haven't yet read the 2nd volume of Malik, but it is now high on my list.
