And quite difficult to believe some characters and plot devices. Probably won't continue to read this series. ( ) Jasper Kent has managed to weave a tail around one of the main historical points in Russian history. It is extremely well done and well researched from the historical perspective, and it is becoming clear after reading the 2nd in the Danilov quintet that he is becoming one of my top authors for historical fiction. This tail isn't just about vampires, it's about being human as well, as the primary antagonist isn't even a vampire. And the vampires in this story aren't the glossy gothic teeny-bopper kind either; these voordalak are nasty, more like the vampires of older classic horror stories. I feel I need to point out just how much this novel makes you feel like your in Russia. Russia oozes from each page. In the end, I have a strong feeling that I will be having book hangover from this one for a while, which will probably make me go get the 3rd book very soon. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Danilov Quintet (2)
Aleksandr made a silent promise to the Lord. God would deliver him - would deliver Russia - and he would make Russia into the country that the Almighty wanted it to be. He would be delivered from the destruction that wasteth at noonday, and from the pestilence that walketh in darkness - the terror by night...1825, Europe - and Russia - have been at peace for a decade. Bonaparte is long dead and the threat of invasion is no more. For Colonel Aleksei Ivanovich Danilov, life is peaceful. The French have been defeated, as have the twelve monstrous creatures he once fought alongside, and then against, all those years before. His duty is still to his tsar, Aleksandr the First, but today the enemy is merely human.But the tsar himself knows he can never be at peace. He is well aware of the uprising fermenting within his own army, but his true fear is of something far more terrible - something that threatens to bring damnation down upon him, his family and his country. Aleksandr cannot forget a promise- a promise sealed in blood ... and broken a hundred years before.Now the victim of the Romanovs' betrayal has returned to demand what is his. The knowledge chills Aleksandr's very soul. And for Aleksei, it seems the vile pestilence that once threatened all he held dear has returned, thirteen years later...
