slow-paced
What a ball! I love the way this author writes vampire stories, very sensual and sumptuous. This is vampires exactly as vampires are intended.
I didn't like it as much as I enjoyed the first simply because the world building, magic system, and stakes were already established. It was like all of the incredible things were introduced in the first book and then the chips fell in the second. I really enjoyed the ending and I loved the path of Paul and Alias characters.
Gets repetitive around the 2/3 mark. Local white guy discovered restoration ecology and considers himself revolutionary. Overall good tho.
Simultaneously not as good as I thought it would be but then also much much better??? A clever book. You don't realize how clever it is until about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through (depending on your knowledge of subtext).

This book does exactly what it sets out to do. Less has so much heart (but the character and the novel) and at times it is so moving I didn't know what to do with myself. Not a sad novel per se but a story about someone who is used to carrying the weight of his everyday heartbreaks. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful !
I am actually BEGGING Bella to get a life but this book is legitimately funny and dare I say romantic! Fundamentally I don't see this book as any more or less unhealthy than every other romance book I've ever read, just a bit more bloodthirsty. The movies are definitely a more artistic take on the story, but I find myself preferring book Bella's humor and book Edwards wit.
