Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff

adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Filled with some of the most delightfully colorful language I've seen, I absolutely loved this book.
Gabriel's voice as a narrator brings dark levity to an otherwise heavy jouney. His voice can clearly paint the nostalgia of childhood, the pain and weariness of the journey, and the sorrow hidden deep within his heart. 
It's hard to put into words how this book made me feel. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn't put the book down.
