I'm going to see through this series to the end, the third (and final?) book is out in the fall, but unless things really take off I'm not sure I would pick up this author again. This whole series is just befuddling to me. This time there was less focus on the Lore & Lust book, at least in talking about it, but instead Haruka is translating stuff with a family and I just. Somehow Nino's brother Giovanni, grumpy alpha asshole who nonetheless shoulders so much responsibility and does so much for Nino, now holds the top spot.Īside from that positive, I'm still struggling with the writing, the weird dialogue, plus all the aforementioned plot and worldbuilding weirdness, and sometimes the chapters ends abruptly or we transition into something in a strange manner.
And a few other revelations and observations from his best friend added to that. That said, where Nino had been my favourite character in book one, there was a certain interaction with his brother that changed my opinion of him. It offered up something different and, dare I say it, more interesting. In this book we had two romances playing out, the one from book one and another between characters connected to the main protagonists. Maybe we'll get more about that in book three. That said, the reason for it, and the villain behind it, feels pretty flimsy. Why only England I have no idea but I'm just chocking that one upto one more thing I don't understand and just kinda rolling with it. I still don't fully comprehend this vampire society, aristocracy, hierarchy, whatever, but we did get some insight behind - go figure - the big Vanishing which was basically the complete loss of the English pureblood (purebred?) population.
I'm sorry, I'm still not really getting this series.
On the one hand, a lot more happened in this instalment compared to book one, which had been one of my big complaints, but overall.
