The beginning of The Accidental Demon Slayer was too slapstick and in your face for my liking. It's not a type of humor that works for me, so it set the wrong tone for the book. It was hard for be to get into until things calmed down and the action started. Of course, Lizzie has to be the only demon slayer in existence and of course there's a demon threat and she has to save all of the witches and humanity! I do like these kinds of plots a lot, but for some reason it didn't fully hold my attention here. Maybe because we got off on the wrong foot and never got back on track.
The Accidental Demon Slayer isn't bad. It just wasn't my thing. Other than Lizzie's talking dog, I never felt connected or engaged. I was frustrated at times, especially when one of the witches hates Lizzie on sight and tries to kill her while telling her that she's the only one who can save them. Um, then stop trying to kill her and get to training! I don't know, it was just okay for me. There was stuff I definitely liked and stuff that I didn't.
