review 1: Again, I read these a while ago now but they still make me incredibly excited when I think back. I am a Shan worshipper (the newer books, eh, we'll come to that) Demonata and the Darren Shan Saga taking over my life for a good few years while they were being finished. This is a reprint (or rewrite, not sure) and thank god he released it because I'm in love.You'll find the theme of weird books here, I find myself writing in every review that you can't pick apart the stories too much because it just ruins them. This story is balanced between vague and intricately detailed, so many questions unanswered and so many unexpected answers given. Just give it a go because the world he creates, at least for me, is enthralling around every twist and turn.
review 2: While I... more enjoyed the first novel in this series, this was a let down. I felt that Shan was rewriting some of the mythology that he set out in the first novel just to squeeze in specific storylines and scenes. The characters were uninteresting and I didn't have compassion for (m)any of them. The political machinations were sophomoric and, again, unengaging. By the end of the novel, I just didn't care what happened to any of the characters or the city. less
