The Vampire Prince by Darren Shan

medium-paced

3.0

I remember later in the book numbers that this series got really weird, but I did not remember the specific weirds in this book. Thankfully the books are still a quick read, because this book in particularly there was a lot of 'luckily x happened so I could yz' and just a bunch of things being explained away much too conveniently, and mostly because their luck/coincidence was pointed out by the author/narrator. The roundabout method of solving the ending problem also seemed like the lazy difficult way (i.e. creating more work by being too lazy to address the actual/more direct problem) that should not have been handled as such by adults who have been around forever (though that very fact implies they are sticks in the mud when it comes to change, so...) Not cringe enough for me to jump ship, but getting close.
