The last Silversaint has saved the Holy Grail from death, but keeping her by her side is another story. When they are ambushed, Gabirel does everything in his power to keep her but he fails. He does not know where she is or what has become of her, but he will do everything he can to find her and get her back even if that means forming alliances with those he never thought he would. Gabriel will face many deadly perils as though he is hunting he is also being hunted.
This book was amazing. It was dark, gritty, brutal and bloody just like a vampire book should be. Kristoff does not hold back in this book and man did he break my heart several times in the book, but the book and story and plot were better for it. I loved reading this book and turning the pages to see where Kristoff would take the series. And boy does Kristoff take it places that I did not think that he would go. This book is just as good as the first book, maybe even better as I felt even more invested in Gabriel as a Character.
I love Gabriel as a main character. Yes he is flawed character, but he doesn't pretend to be anything other than who he is. He tells it like it is and if you don't want to hear that, too bad he'll tell you anything. I feel like Gabriel is someone that you want in your corner, and mores the pity if you are not.
I was not expecting there to be a second storyteller in this book and the book is better for it. I enjoyed getting to know more about Liathe and her drive to protect the Grail, as well as what happened to her after she was turned.
The artwork again in this book was exceptional. I had to tell myself not to look ahead at the artwork as it would give some things away. I personally love the addition of the artwork and I think more books should do this. Really add to the overall reading experience.
Speaking of reading experience I did the physical read and audiobook read of the book, as I did not want to have to put it down. Once again, Damian Lynch did a great job of brining Gabriel to life and the addition of Shakira Shite was amazing. I loved what she brought to the character of Liathe, danger but grace at the same time.
OMG, this is probably going to be one of my favourite trilogies out there, if the third book is even close to as the first two books in this series. I cannot wait to read the third book in this series. I just need to wait for it to be released in paperback so it matches my other two. Highly recommend if you want a darker vampire read.
