First re-read of this series! I love Claire and Dory’s kick-butt relationship and though the plot has some typical urban fantasy vampire politics points, there is also some fun unique elements that make these fun reads. Also, Karen Chance writes with humour and wit that make it a good series to binge read.

Very exciting book, fights, betrayals, fey, vampires you know, all the ingredients you need for a good urban fantasy book :)

I loved this book! So much better than Cassie's books. Dory is a badass and I love her. Of course I love Louis Cesare. I think that's why this is better than Cassie's books... Im not a fan of Mircea and I like the love interest in this book.

The action was pretty much non stop. I didn't want to stop listening to it. I cannot wait to start the next one tomorrow!

I absolutely loved getting an insider view on Louis-Cesare. Mircea isn’t exactly my favorite, so his back story didn’t move me as much (beyond the whole dhampir daughter thing of course), but Louis-Cesare’s story was agonizing to uncover. His interactions with Dory were well choreographed, beginning with obvious disdain to an even more obvious attraction, to a “Aww..that’s so cute!” development of feelings.

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because Pritkin isn't in it. I may be slightly obsessed with him.

i have to admit that, when i started reading midnight's daughter, i wasn't really impressed and i was actually a bit bored because only a few things happened at the first chapters...but then it was like something happened and the plot started getting really interesting..i loved the characters and especially dory because instead of giving up when everyone abandoned her, when she was still very young, she kept going and she lived five centuries...something really impossible for people like her...dhampirs, cause that's what she is...no one likes her and everyone wants her dead but she survives and only god knows how...louis-cesare is also a really fascinating character and i bet he's been through a lot of things in his life too...but in the end when he left without even talking to dory, i was a little pissed...he left to find that girl he saved and it was unacceptable because she's been gone for like one century and what...he just remembered her?what was he doing all those years...i think this book and all of the books in the dorina basarab series(although i haven't read them yet), are a lot better than cassandra palmer...i don't know i wasn't really impressed when i read it because the whole thing that was going on there didn't actually made any sense, not at all..but this book, had something like a mission in it for the characters and they were meant to accomplish that mission and reach the end...the story it self had a purpose and that's what kept me reading it....can't wait to read the next one and i hope louis-cesare comes back for his own good!!!

I really like the Cassie Palmer books. So I wanted to read the Dorina Basarab books. Overall I like the book but I found it a little hard to follow at times. I was trying to figure out the time line from the Cassie Palmer books. And the fae story is complex but really interesting.

4.0

Character development is shit. I felt like reading the stone(brick wall) over and over again

More a 3.5 but I couldn't justify giving it a 3!

Starts off slow but it really comes into its own!

Meh. Couldn't get into it.
