Description

A huge thank you to HarperVoyager for sending me an ARC copy of 'Empire of the Vampire' by Jay Kristoff. Condenado a muerte por el asesinato del rey vampiro, el último miembro de la hermandad sagrada se ve obligado a contar la historia de su vida. Una historia que abarca años, desde su juventud en la abadía de San Michon y el amor prohibido que presagió su ruina hasta la traición que aniquiló la orden. Finally, the overall style and story are just also not for me. For one thing, I personally can’t stand the “main character telling the reader the story” POV. I get that it’s trying to emulate Interview with the Vampire, but I really do not enjoy it. It doesn’t help that the person Gabriel is telling the story to interrupts ALL THE TIME to force him to give exposition. Obnoxious.

Let's begin with the usual caveats: I received an Advanced Reading Copy of this book, for free, from the publisher. I think Jay Kristoff is a nice person. And I think that neither of those two things will affect my honest review of this book.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. The event will be hosted by Random House Children’s Books via Zoom. A link to the event will be shared the day of the event.

Interview: Jay Kristoff, author of Stormdancer | My Bookish Ways". www.mybookishways.com . Retrieved 8 February 2016. Though Gabe was once the sort of hero who tends to have songs written about them, by the time he’s recounting his great deeds to his vampire captors, he’s become more of a “fallen hero” whose story is primarily “about redemption, or at least a reclamation of faith.” I swear by the Almighty, Mothermaid, and all Seven Martyrs," Aaron sighed, "I've never heard a tale half so strange as this." 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.
