Conclusion to the series. I found myself losing interest by this point-- the story could have been shorter.

An amusing book, but I'm not a fan of vampire books and I lost interest after a little while.

The ideas behind the book were great; I enjoyed the ideas of the furies a lot. The book was okay, but I did not immensely enjoy it-- the style was just not quite my cup of tea.

It's an amusing read, so long as you have no problem with cursing-- the large volume of it was what turned me off halfway through.

Reichert's storytelling is still excellent, and I liked the way that the novel drew on Nordic mythology. However, I never found myself liking the main character of the book.
