review 1: Avoid this book. This book is a poorly put-together afterthought that adds nothing to the Vampire Earth series. Reading this I felt the author had swept all his notes into a pile, jammed a staple through them, and called it a book. It is a rambling mess. I have been told stories while visiting the old folks home that were more coherent.Everything in this book is a side-note. There are side-notes of side-notes of side-notes. In sections the timeline bounces around because there are so many side-notes.And the editing was atrocious. At one point the main character is sizing a rifle when suddenly he is mid-paragraph into a conversation with a reaper - and instead of fighting he is now negotiating a peace treaty.There is no real climax for this book. It tries to buil... mored some conflicts but then resolves them in a paragraph or two. At the end the book finally runs out of side-notes and mercifully just ends (or the author fell asleep - I am not sure which).
review 2: Not sure if this is the finale to Vampire Earth Series or not, but a completely different head character even though Ahn-Kha is a main character through the series. Maybe this means not the end but a different direction. Or that maybe Duvalier will be next book (if there is one) main character and we see live as a female and Cat.Back to the book, I enjoyed the book and felt it helped understand Ahn-Kha better and his relationship with David and his part in overthrow of the Kurians. It also offered a way of looking at mankind from an outsider or different perspective. All in all, if you enjoyed the series you will enjoy the book. less
