A review by bamborokin
Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff

4.0

Longest book I’ve ever read but I easily got through it. Just wish the events happened in chronological order and that the ending wasn’t ass. The ending doesn’t clear up any questions nor was it satisfying enough, probably just enough to make you want to read the next book in the series. Will I read the second one…. Maybe… but I’ll probably put it on my want to read list then forget about it. This book wasn’t a complete shit show like some reviewers thought but I can understand some points based on the ending bc they leave you hanging and Gabriel loses all his morals and previous motivations in the last 20 pages. Would have given this 5 stars if it wrapped everything up in a satisfying way even if it wasn’t a “happy ending” ( I wasn’t expecting a happy ending but the plot got so convoluted it just seemed like the story was just broken up into several books instead of just ending. Vampire homie literally said I’m done writing this story see you tomorrow to finish up like and Gabe said ok. Huh like what an ass way to end a book)
