A review by pauinha6
To You Shall All Flesh Come by Lumen Reese

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

The first half of the book goes slow. It’s setting the scene.
Letting you get to know the characters, their backgrounds, the base for the plot. Showing how each of the characters is deeply human and full of good intentions despite their flaws.
This first half will make you consider morals and methods and think of all those questions that plague scientists looking for solutions. Ethics. And humanity.

Then the second part will make your heart race and fear for every single character. They are now human and you care for them and they don’t deserve to die, even when you know they brought it all on themselves, in one way or another.

This is more than a book about vampires.
More than a thriller.
More than good vs evil. 
Because… what is evil??? 
Who is the villain? Who is the hero? Is there ever a black and white answer? 
Never. 
The whole damn humanity is a spectrum of gray. 

And then there’s greed…

But there might also be light and splashes of colour. If only you pay attention…
