The silversaints are all half-vampires, but they are rounded up before they do anything too bad, and trained as holy soldiers. These are not likeable vampires, they are vicious and cruel, some mindless monsters but others are ancient and unstoppable. The tone of the book is quite grimdark for my tastes but I did get into it and enjoyed the story, despite the rather hopeless situation humanity seems to be in. The thing is massive and I was a bit daunted by it, but then I ended up with two special editions and it would be silly to not even attempt it. I know I said I was over Jay Kristoff’s writing, but then he went and wrote a vampire book and I just could not resist. Gabriel de León is the last of the silversaints, a holy order dedicating to fighting vampires, and this is his story. Humans have lost the war against vampires, who now rule the land. It has been twenty-seven years since the sun last rose and with the darkness came monsters.
