3.5
Part survival, part war story, the Vampire Prince has the unenviable task of wrapping up the trilogy that should perhaps be one book. The ways the narrative stretches to make a book out of this last third create for some boring stretches. Still, Darren's reaction to his first taste of war and the complicated way this book approaches its antagonist make for an overall engaging read.
Graphic: Murder and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Gore
Minor: Sexism
