Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff
5.0
Epic!
This is by far the longest book I've ever read and the first real fantasy novel that I've read and I loved it, I already have the second book in the series lined up and ready to go!
Obviously with a book like this it starts slow, there is a vast world to build, many characters to introduce and a lot of history to catch the reader up on.
But once it gets going it rarely slows down.
The vampire lore is original to this series. The author keeps a lot of the main things we all know about vampires and adds some of his own nuances to the genre, all of which I really liked.
There were twists and turns and big revelations and there was also plenty left unanswered that has me excited for the second book!
Thoroughly recommend if you like vampire stories or dark fantasy novels in general.
