A review by clairedrinkstea
Bound by Flames: A Night Prince Novel by Jeaniene Frost
2.0
In a word... Disappointed.
This, for me, is the third miss by Miss Frost in a row.
I honestly don't know why Vlad loves Lelai. She's so annoying. Nothing that has occurred throughout this series has ever given me any indication as to way the biggest, badass Vampire would fall for her.
"I came closer, wondering what he'd been like before the brutalities of his life had hardened him into the complex, lethal man I'd fallen in love with. Did he have any happy memories from his childhood?".... HELLO!! This is Vlad the Impaler! His childhood sucked!!
The chapters were short and seemed to lack detail. Don't get me wrong I don't need to read about torture in intimate detail but as a massive driving force within this narrative it was barely touched upon.
I'm also disappointed this is not the last in the series. Though I LOVE Vlad and welcome him in any book, it means yet again we have to hear from Leila. The new element meaning fourth book is on the cards could have been wrapped up in this book and the new bad guy was forced.
Vlad saves the series and the supporting characters help though I'm getting mighty tired of the one track story for Marty, Hugh and Gretchen. Maximus as with the second instalment is one-dimensional however there is a redeeming scene near the end. I would love for Ian (front the other Night Huntress books) to take Maximus on a wild night out to blow of the cobwebs and realise how Lelia isn't really a catch.
