“In Maria and the Devil, Graham Thomas manages to create a very strong story featuring many elements that come together greatly in the beginning as well as in the end. There was a very strong dark and sad tone but on occasion give way to a light-hearted moment. Maria is shown to be a very strong and all she goes though reflects well in her character. And with this edition to the current repertoire of Graham Thomas, he shows that he can write great stories, funny and witty as well as dark and gritty”
