⚰️ I tried, but this was terrible.
⚰️ The plot starts off as one thing & completely deviates onto something that isn’t remotely related to the initial premise.
⚰️ Political climate is messy & depicted in chaotic ways.
⚰️ Aside from Greylancer, the rest of the characters are mediocre, filler, or simply uninteresting.
⚰️ Prose can be quite awkward, horribly slow when subject matter relating to conspiracies arise, & rather boring when there’s no action going on.
⚰️ The scenes occasionally (not too often) jump around without context.
⚰️ Greylancer is ridiculously over-powered & over-the-top, but it’s the one thing I enjoyed.
⚰️ Greylancer is also very flawed and hard to empathise with; great anti-hero.
⚰️ The violence is graphic and unforgiving in its brutality; the second thing I enjoyed.
⚰️ The vampires aren’t fetishised but shown for the monsters that they truly are; their belief that humans are nothing but fodder was wonderful.
⚰️Overall, greatly disappointed with this book, particularly more so because I love the Vampire Hunter D franchise.
⚰️ I don’t recommend this book to anyone who’s unfamiliar with the franchise, as it will be immensely confusing to you. You pretty much have to be well-versed with the universe to comprehend what’s going on.
⚰️ 2.5 lances outta 5!
