This books is a complete filler. The only character that casts a tiny light of amusement is Lady Evanna. And even her is not a very well defined personality. I can understand erratic, random and neutral entities with quirky perks. She is just an obvious out-of-the-hat inclusion from a legend that was also dimwitted.

All the prophetic element is poorly managed. I would like to be wrong but this feels more a request than a conviction from the author. Let's wait how the story unfolds but so far it is quite a bitter taste after the nice ending of the previous trilogy.

The pacing of this installment was waaaay too slow. The overall plot of the series barely moves along and it takes them half the book (genuinely) to begin their quest. The foreshadowing in this one is also just very heavy handed, but I guess I'm saying that with the benefit of already having read the series.

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

I was a bit disappointed in this installment in the series; especially since the sixth installment was amazing. There wasn't much plot at all and it felt like there was a TON of filler and no substance.

Darren has a new role within the vampire clan in Hunters of the Dusk, and part of his role involves tracking down and killing the Vampaneze Lord. If he fails, the entire world of vampires may fall to the more blood-thirsty vampaneze. Cirque du Freak is just a wonderful series. Easy-to-read with fast-paced action, the books tell an engaging story with fascinating characters.
