Tread Lightly is an interesting take on an apocalypse, drawn out over many years as humanity slowly loses the war against a variety of powerful and unique demons. The author takes elements of coming-of-age novels, throw in a dash of Western, a sprinkle of eldritch horror, and we're left with this work of art. The "magic" system is also very interesting, moving away from a lot of the overused tropes that are commonplace in this genre of books.
Overall this is definitely worth reading. The magic / progression is really interesting and isn't laden with system messages and blue boxes like many other stories.
The premise reminded me of the Hard West game. If the story is as good in atmosphere as the game, then I won't regret trying. (But the AI in the game was bad, generations worse than XCOM2).
Enter EverRealm, where danger and opportunity coexist
A place for the most ruthless and daring souls
Where you can become strong or die a miserable death
Luck doesn’t exist, only power and the ability to grasp it
Those that
Cowboys meet Lovecraft
