Off to a bad start with a narrative from the point of view of a religious Jew that just feels off (including definitions of terms that a religious Jew would never feel the need to define to another religious Jew, but probably it is just an artifact of writing for a non-Jewish audience, though none of the authors appear to be Jewish). I focus on this narrative because I can see the "did not do the research" signs in it, though the other two seem to focus less on minorities. This insensitivity and lack of research have plagued the Demon line, and is often the cause of books coming off as racist, ableist, etc, when they are not intended that way.
Aside from this, though, there is the issue of a lack of content. For a book about demon hunters, there's very little general material about demon hunters and even less mechanics. The vast majority of the book is taken up by the fiction, leaving very little room for the promised content. And worse, what's there is lackluster, and I would recommend Arcanum or Hunters Hunted instead, by a large amount.
