No real surprises or fresh ideas. The pacing seemed extremely slow for me, especially toward the end where everything almost seemed to grind to a halt, and it was a little bit of a chore to get through this one. The characters however were very lush and described very well in their appearances and their back stories and I appreciated that. ( ) Meh. It started out very promising, with a relatively fresh take on vampires and their creation - very sci-fi, rather than standard fantasy - and with some intriguing characters and character relationships. I've always loved the Machiavellian take on vampires, and so the political machinations of the colony seemed quite promising.And then it devolved into shoddily written semi-erotic prose, bad proofreading, and inane posturing. I found that I couldn't care for any of the main characters - only Dahlia and Lupo held my interest or loyalty, and they were barely touched upon. The prose got increasingly overwrought, the characters increasingly self-centered and annoyingly capricious (and while that could've been justified by the "madness" brought on by the Feasting, it seems that the Feasting was introduced and then...promptly ignored unless absolutely convenient. Potential interesting plot point that was tossed away to be little more than a MacGuffin - disappointing).All in all, a promising concept that really didn't live up to its potential.
