Pretty good. I liked the mix of perspectives, it was interesting to get the story from different points of view. If you like the previous Vampire Chronicles books, you'll probably like this.

This is an okay, albeit somewhat long, continuation of the vampire chronicles. However, it has passages that are so sexist that it becomes difficult to continue. I'm not sure what's worse; reading the dialog of this character or having their views go unchallenged. Also has racist undertones.
