Creatures of Will and Temper is a story of demonic cults and duelists that take places in Victorian England. The story features around two very different sisters - Dorina, the young, naive, aspiring art critic and Evadne, the older sister who is a female living her life in the predominantly male world of duelism. Through their experiences while visiting an uncle in London, these two become entangled in demonic cult followers. This combination of demonic cults and duelists made for some pretty kick ass and creative storytelling. Where typical books about demon worship and demon slaying are saturated with descriptions of the demons, their demonic powers, special weapons needed to slay the demon, or religious themes, this book was the exception. It really gave a sense of how demonic cults affect humans at their core. In addition to the demons and duelists, the author tells the story of how the relationship between two sisters evolves. I really enjoyed the character development. I also appreciated that when I finished the book I actually felt a sense of resolution. My only real complaint about this book was that at times I felt the author would almost provide too much detail during critical, action filled moments. Overall, a very unique story featuring entertaining story telling and some kick ass dueling action.
