I have to say that I was a bit annoyed because every time something interesting was happening, we were pulled away and thrown to completely different events (which most of the time slows down the pace). And now we get to the narration, which is not typical because it’s nonlinear, meaning we are jumping between two different timelines. He is forced to tell his own story to the empress historian. And I say the author did a marvellous job.Īt the very start of the book, we meet Gabriel de León, the last Silversaint of a holy brotherhood imprisoned by his mortal enemies – the vampires. The story is very dark and was meant to bring the image of vampires from the romanticised eternal creatures promoted by pop culture back to the bloodsucking monsters of legends from the olden days. “Empire of the Vampire” by Jay Kristoff is the first book in the new series with the same title.
