Short review: Seyonne was once a magician charged with guarding humanity from demonic possession, but now he is slave to Prince Aleksander, the selfish, ill-tempered heir to the throne which murdered Seyonne's people. But when demons attempt to infiltrate the palace, Seyonne discovers that Aleksander is contains the potential to change the world—if he is aided by a guide such as the magician that Seyonne once was. Transformation is delicately plotted and peopled with realistic characters, but it also moves slowly and has some unbelievable twists. This is the sort of book that is good but not quite great. I enjoyed it, but I don't have any desire to read the rest of the series. Moderately recommended.

Long review. )
