Definitely not as good as the first one but still an okay read. I think what saved me was Azriel's hunk factor.

There are a lot of redundant information if you read the first one. Usually it isn't a bad thing but it is just presented exactly the same as it was in the first book, word for word. I'm wondering if Arthur had intended Darkness Rising and Darkness Unbound to be one book but was told it was too long and to make it into two books. It really seemed like she had to put a lot of "filler" in order to extend the second book.

I really liked the idea of the aging, dying vampires and wished that plotline was developed more.

Lucien finally shows some of his true colors here. I found him somewhat creepy. Somehow Risa's relationship with him makes her look really dumb. In fact, she is really dense in this book but I was still rooting for her.

If you have skipped the first book, read it. This one is only worth it if you decide to continue on with the series.
