Indeed. It's a good game. If the tone annoys someone but they think they'd be able to ignore it in preference for the rest of the book, it's worth getting in my opinion.

Too, the whole theme of encroaching supernatural evil and upper-class oppression going hand-in-hand could be left out entirely.
I believe this is due to the nature of Paline, the only demon prince (or princess, in this case) presented. It makes sense for her to prefer upper-class worshippers, so it's kind of natural that the material turned out the way it did. There's other demons out there, though, in case you wish for different flavour of supernatural evil.
