This book is way more character driven than the others. ”This is, after all, what we’re fighting for, isn’t it?

History in Five is a multimedia production of Simon & Schuster that aims to provide a daily dose of history in a concise, informative, and entertaining forma. For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant.

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.
