Empire of the Damned: 2 (Empire of the Vampire)

Product Information

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. I never thought I'd find such peace in simple reading. The words were a kind of magic, taking me by the hand and sweeping me into lands unseen, times unremembered, thoughts unimagined. Through all my years in San Michon, all the blood and sweat and darkling roads I walked, I learned one of my greatest lessons sitting in that Library with those girls in the still of the night. La narración en primera persona fue un acierto a partes parecido a "El Nombre del Viento" por cómo Gabriel nos cuenta su pasado y a quien se lo está contando. Ahí para mi lo supera, en este caso por quién es, y cómo se comportan ambos. Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for access to this eARC sampler, in exchange for an honest review.

Empire of the Damned: (Empire of the Vampire Book 2 - WHSmith

Durante tres décadas, los vampiros han luchado contra los humanos, cimentando así su imperio eterno mientras el nuestro se desangra. Ahora los que sobrevivimos somos sólo unas chispas de luz en un mar de oscuridad creciente. And that's it!! I can rant as much as Gabe about this book, I will not hesitate to defend my opinion on this rather bad book, and now I'm off to read better things and count this as my farewell to Jay Kristoff's works. May he somehow miraculously become a better writer.

Ideas interesantes, frescas y sobretodo muy bien utilizadas y llevadas con giros y cambios de perspectiva.

Empire of the Vampire Makes Vampires Scary Again Empire of the Vampire Makes Vampires Scary Again

That, however, did little to stop me from completely losing my mind over the magnificence that was the storyline, the characters, and THE BEST VAMPIRE LORE I'VE READ FOR A VERY LONG TIME. Just...🤯🤯🤯 The ending only left me with more questions that need to be answered. Just thinking about it makes me what to scream again. Also while the writing style might have felt longer than it was, I still liked the descriptions, dialogue, revelations, and the smooth way the story switched from one timeline to another. Not to mention, the ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ILLUSTRATIONS accompanying this awesome story. OH. MY. GOD. 😍😍😍 I think ALL authors should add illustrations like those in their novels. I really shouldn't expect anything less, though, given how breathtaking the covers were, both the UK and US editions.But the straight relationship isn't even written that well either?? It's all over-the-top flowery euphemisms and ''oooh this is sinful isn't it??" that makes all Kindle Unlimited romance books shine a little stronger in comparison. I've read better sex scenes than the cismale viewpoint I got here and read books that did vampire sex kinks better justice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The cool thing about [the ‘vampire’ concept] is they’re a dozen different things to a dozen different people. You can have a dozen different vampire fans in the room, and they’ll all tell you a different reason why they like them, why they’re attracted to them.” Por fin leo algo bueno de vampiros, últimamente no me gusta el camino que había tomado. Junta lo mejor de las piezas góticas literarias de Anne Rice. Jay Kristoff además escribe una historia salpicada de sangre y oscuridad. Los vampiros se presentan últimamente como algo hermoso e immortal, olvidando la parte monstruosa. Esas escenas del presente de ambos personajes funcionó bastante bien. Le dio una profundidad personal a la historia y, además, el narrador es muy poco fiable, lo cual aumenta la sospecha e incertidumbre en una historia llena de secretos y revelaciones. Sangre y aceros. Vida y muerte. recommend to new adult & adult dark fantasy lovers. Possibly even upper level YA readers, as well. AND of course, all of the vampire-loving heathens like me out there ! Haha.

Empire of the Damned: The most hotly anticipated fantasy Empire of the Damned: The most hotly anticipated fantasy

Fantasy Book Critic: Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff (Reviewed by Mihir Wanchoo)" . Retrieved 8 February 2016. So this is my review, more like a recipe for a very enjoyable tale than a critique of plot or characterization. Because I have mentioned so many things that may be seen as 'standard' in fantasy novel, let me assure you that there are no standard characters nor a standard plot between these covers. It's an engrossing read in a rich world. La acción es implacable y visceral cuando llega, y bastante gráfica. Escenas obscenas y con un humor negro y cínico infundido en la historia. 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.”stars and the .25 is given incredibly reluctantly. This is an absolute dumpster fire of a book and I’m going to do my best to articulate why in a concise and organized way...but honestly the book made me so angry that I might go off the rails. So please lend me your throat… I mean ear. Of course, I meant ear. Because this story is gripping, scheming, and spine chilling and just ‘Bloody’ brilliant. I read fantasy cause it's a genre I've always enjoyed reading, and one that I won't stop reading. I take it as a work of fiction and nothing else, which is what I did here too. Nothing to learn from it. My beliefs don't make an impact on the rating of the book but I had to take the blasphemy into consideration. While others will point fingers and say it's my fault to read it.. well it's not up to you, it's my opinion.
