Jay Kristoff has quickly become one of my favorite authors through his incredible prose and plot in Empire of the Vampire, earning it a 4.5 rating overall. Framed narrative can make or break a story, and Kristoff absolutely dominates in the space with the way he's handled it. I'd argue that it's done as well as the *Sun Eater* series by Christopher Ruocchio, which for anyone who has read my reviews know is very high praise.
This story was an absolute thrill ride, there were jaw dropping twists, incredible action scenes, and a love story that I easily became invested in. When these characters hurt, I hurt, when they were sad, I felt sad, when they were in danger, I was scared for them. Kristoff managed to truly make me feel like I was in this world and I found myself rooting for Gabriels success even early on.
