For Love of Evil
I recently finished reading the For Love of Evil, the sixth book in the series I have been reading, called The Incarnations of Immortality. This book is about Satan, the Incarnation of Evil, and it really does a good job in recreating scenes from the previous books in his point of view. Satan reign as an Incarnation is much longer than the other Incarnations, so the book starts many years in the past.
In the previous five novels, Satan has been a serious pain to all the other incarnations, but this book explains why. The man who is Satan really is not evil, and ended up falling into the position. Parry, the man who becomes Satan, was originally a monk, fighting evil. This alerts the Current Incarnation of Evil, who then corrupts Parry. Parry than uses his magic to kill him, and than becomes the new Satan.
Parry realizes that Hell is not in a good condition, so he organizes it, and tries to fix things up. Once Parry realizes that Satan and God really have a common goal, to punish the bad and reward the good, he goes to see God and try to stop the conflict between the two of them. Parry soon realizes that God is not paying attention, and tries to find a way to rework things. The Archangel Gabriel challenges Satan to try to corrupt a specific person, Niobe Kaftan, who will not be born for a few hundred years. This is how the series is tied together, and the story begins to overlap with the timeline of the other five. I will not spoil the ending, but it was a good one, and it makes me even more excited to read the next one.
