The Testaments name sodomy a deadly sin, so I'd rather not." Talon offered a brief smile. "But you're very pretty, de León, and I appreciate the offer." Las ilustraciones que acompañan al libro le dan otro toque acorde. Hace de su lectura algo más completo. The author cites Rice’s aforementioned Interview with the Vampire as “the biggest influence” on this story. “I’ve loved that book since I was a kid,” he says. “And one of the strong themes that permeates that text is that nothing is forever. Everything goes away on a long enough timeline.” But don’t expect bestselling Australian author Jay Kristoff’s new book, Empire of the Vampire, to follow this modern trend. In this story, the first in a new epic fantasy trilogy, vampires are 100% terrifying again, vicious monsters who kill violently and indiscriminately, and whose powers mean that few humans are capable of standing against them for long.

Throughout the book, we see a compelling exploration of Gabriel's faith. It's a raw, honest look at a man pushed to his limits, reflecting on past battles and sacrifices, powerful foes, and a love that's as alluring as it is forbidden. We witness the slow erosion of Gabriel's faith and, interestingly, the author uses this to delve into the complex nature of belief and how it can take different shapes for different people. And even though we know Gabriel must've survived to tell his tale, Kristoff still manages to keep the suspense high and the atmosphere heavy with anticipation. I forgot to take off a star for what happened to poor Phoebe and Justice. Y’all know me: I care more about the animals than the people, and I won’t apologize for it.

There is a certain kind of bliss, indeed, in this, because it begets emotions & a Hope so strong, that every moment, every minor detail, may as well be as important as the breath you breathe, itself. Gabriel What's-His-Face has risen up and given challenge to Aelin for the amount of self-confidence affirmations and introductions because I bet that almost HALF this book could have been done away with if all of the "I'm a lion" sentences had been scrapped. Besides that, he's a Speshul Boy™️ from a conveniently-forgotten bloodline ( still wasn't explained how DEAD creatures were able to procreate okay) and rises up as a super famous warrior BEFORE HE'S EVEN TWENTY like okay so that happened.Best Vampire book ever! Not only will I stake my heart on that, but it's left me positively dying to read the sequel! Monsters rising from beds of cold earth and slipping on the façade that they were something close to human.' Though Kristoff may enjoy the world of The Vampire Diaries—he’s currently making his way through its spin-off The Originals—Stefan and Damon Salvatore were not the sort of creatures whose story he was interested in exploring in Empire of the Vampire. The novel is set in a kingdom where the sun has barely shone for nearly three decades, the dead walk during the daytime, and vicious vampire factions fight for control over the remaining human territories. Its world is bleak and frightening, and his vampires reflect that fact. Inconsistent storytelling- The whole book is set up with Gabriel narrating his story, it would've been so much better had his story followed one particular timeline at a time. It kept jumping and it made things a tad confusing. Also whenever something interesting happened, the next chapter didn't follow through with it. Another big factor to why my rating is low.
