By the end of the book, its pretty clear that the two will temper each other, although its doubtful that Robin will ever change the demon – more that he will learn to make allowances for humans based on what he is learning from Robin. Both are small in the context of their own worlds, but where Robin is retiring and non-confrontational, the demon is feisty, canny, and aggressive. That changes when she meets and then partners with a demon over – cookies! The book spends a good deal of time building Robins back story and her partnering with her demon. That doesnt mean shes weak, just uncomfortable with stepping out of the shadows. Id say her life with her parents, who sheltered her from magic, just reinforces those qualities and made her completely unfit for dealing with the hard knocks that life then handed her.
Shes an introvert who loves studying over practice and avoids confrontation. She immediately starts out on a toe to toe level with the mages at the Crow and Hammer and earns her place among them. Tori is strong and feisty, she ripped herself out of a bad home life and struck out to make it on her own. I truly enjoyed this spinoff – it has great potential to stand on its own in the Guild Codex world. Halfway through (and more than just a few chapters), I forced myself to put it down so that I could at least try to sleep. So, I started this book last night figuring Id read a few chapters before going to sleep.
