review 1: Aleron's world is set in the1700s/1800s in African, west-Asian, and Eastern European cities. So, we're right in the heart of vampire lore which would seem obvious since Vlad's involved. But you never really feel like you're in the past throughout this novel. We're just in a world of vampirism set from a male perspective (which I don't get to see a whole lot of).Mynea is a mysterious queen. And she creates an interesting male vampire called Aleron. I thought the dynamic between the two at the beginning of the book was kind of slow. But when another vampire, Pandora, comes into play, the book suddenly becomes more interesting. Because she explains Vlad's past as well as her own.What was really interesting was seeing the transformation from human to vampire. Apparently... more, all non-essential organs leave the body in a disgusting scene. But this is just a side note.What starts off as love and passion for vampires quickly turns into deceit, betrayal, and vengeance. I liked seeing hearts break in this book while seeing lots of blood feasting. Vampires aren't meant for the faint of heart and neither is this book. It's kind of like Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire but different.I enjoyed this world and the vampires in it, however the ending wasn't a really good ending. It's definitely set up to continue the story in the next book.
review 2: I'm only into Chapter 9 right now in the book, and I'm really liking "Aleron" so far. There's a great sense of passion between Aleron and is creator and queen, Mynea. She love him but, Mynea is keeping things from Aleron too. Despite what she's taught him about picking who he wants to feed on, you can see that Aleron, while a monster, is one with a good heart...so far... he's only feed off of criminials like murders, rapists, and those that would try ( and I do mean "try") to bring harm towards him as well even as a vampire. So what do I think of the book at this point. So far...so really good!!! less
