Butler’s writing is flawless, as always, but I’ve found her protagonists get under my skin because of their self-possession, which is a personal failure of mine. In this one the confidence makes sense because she’s an immortal-ish vampire. I like that this was one of the last books she ever wrote. What a high to leave a career on.
