So, I bought this book shortly after it first came out based on a good review I saw in Entertainment Weekly. For the first six months to a year I tried to read it at night and would get a page or two in and then fall asleep because I always came to bed so tired. It has been on my currently reading list this entire time and I was ready to finish it so I finally switched to the audiobook version. So glad I did! The narrator was fantastic. She did a great job with all the characters voices and really brought the story to life. So now on to my short review. In some ways this book is like a well written Twilight (horrible writing in that book). I mean the author seems to have a clue how to write and I enjoyed the prose. The book's mythology centers around vampires, demons, and yes witches and how they are all in modern day life. It is here that the vampire mythology reminded me of Twilight a bit. Her mythology that she created is fine and I can go with it, but I really long for the vamps of yesterday that can only come out at night and have to be invited inside. My biggest problem with the story is that it take FOREVER to get to the good parts. She drags parts out with details and some parts really could be cut. If you were to describe every single detail of your day thus far then you would be close to the way parts of this were written. Time passes slowly. And, the conflict between the warring factions of the book seems to pass really slowly as well. There are some major events in which you would be positive that immediate retaliation would be take place. But, no, weeks pass and it is assumed the other side is just going to wait to retaliate. That bugged me. The other gripe is that I kept feeling like she was constantly just adding stuff to be adding stuff. Oh and this too, and this too, oh, and this too. In some ways I guess she was trying to broaden the history of the mythology, but it was a little annoying. Oh, and for those that like books with tight endings, this doesn't have it. It ends in the middle of an event with the expectation you are moving directly to the 2nd book. This made me really glad I didn't finish this book when it first came out. That all being said, if you can hang through some of the slow parts it was a fun book. Deborah Harkness truly had me hooked by about 60% in and I found myself really looking forward to getting back to the book whenever I was away. So, I am planning on getting the 2nd book in the series to see where this story is going.
