There is nothing I didn’t love about this book. I know it’s several weeks after its debut, but I’ve been trying to think about something to say about The Renfield Syndrome or Ms. Saare’s writing that either hasn’t been said before or would do either justice. While Ms. Saare had befriended me before I was acquainted with her work, I didn’t know what to expect when I first picked up one of her books, and I wasn’t prepared for being completely blown away. Over the past couple years, I’ve had the good fortune of being one of Ms. Saare’s friends and crit partners, therefore I was one of the lucky few who read this book immediately after completion. Recently, I had time to read it again, and it again held me completely captivated. I don’t deny I’m not a fan of cliffhangers, and Ms. Saare had alerted me well in advance to reading Dead, Undead, or Somewhere In Between that I might be irritated with her upon reaching the end. While I was a little discomfited not immediately knowing what happened to Rhiannon, I was more concerned, as an author, with how Ms. Saare would get out of the hole into which she’d written herself. There were many ways she could have gone about it, but the bleak, heartbreaking future we see in The Renfield Syndrome is brought to life in ways and explored impeccably through the eyes of Rhiannon Murphy. We walk through a dystopian world wherein vampires and shifters are pitted against each other, a virus has wept out most of the human population, and those humans left are forced to choose between servitude and death. We learn quickly that Rhiannon’s lover is gone and the people she has left to rely upon are not as she remembers them. Through it all, Rhiannon remains her snarky bad self, but subdued and softer than readers might remember her. We feel her pain upon reflecting on the loss of Disco, sense her remorse when she has to betray those she cares about, experience the turmoil of each decision, and race alongside her as she struggles to find her way home. Ms. Saare has a masterful way of invoking a true sense of heartbreak and loss. Her writing is beautiful, and The Renfield Syndrome is a perfect example of its maturation. The only complaint I have is I have no complaints. The Renfield Syndrome is nothing short of pure brilliance, and definitely worth the wait.

I find it interesting that so many are commenting on Clare's improvement as a writer. If anything, I see a decline. Her voice was lost in her attempt to recreate Victorian England. The characters were less developed and less likable. I never found myself really caring for any of them as I did in the past series. They were also highly derivative of past characters. Will=Jace, Jem=Simon, Tessa=Clary, Jessamine=Isabelle. Tess is a weak protagonist compared to Clary. I realize it is Victorian England, so women may be less likely to act on certain feelings, but often we are privy to her thoughts as well. She is about as dead weight as Bella from Twilight. The plot was slow at points. The last 90 pages or so really picked up and some of the previous not-so-good plot made more sense. It never really picked up to the momentum of City of Bones. However, my biggest issue with the book may be its Victorian England setting. I simply don't understand why Clare chose this. The voice floated in and out of a Victorian style, which was frustrating. The customs of the time were barely worked in. There was a little bit about traveling by boat and horse and using last names. The issue of the accords still has baring in the 21st century as well as the 19th century. Then, they even work a robot army into the mix. Really? in Victorian England? If you aren't going to do it well, why do it at all? Overall, I might give the next book in the series a try, but I'm on the fence about it.
