Empire of the Damned: 2 (Empire of the Vampire)

Product Information

The Nevernight Chronicles was a surprising trilogy for me. I went into it on a whim, never expecting I would like it, but I loved it. Since its announcement, especially after hearing it will be an illustrated novel, I was undoubtedly excited to get to reading Empire of the Vampire. Yes, it has been a year since this book was first released, and after all the hype, praises, and many special editions (oh so many), it's only now I can read it. The reading mood is a difficult maze to navigate, okay? More importantly, did Empire of the Vampire live up to expectations? No, and yes. My reading experience of this book felt like I experienced hell and heaven at once. Seriously, so few books I've read made me hate and love them as much as I did for Empire of the Vampire. By the way, I am also not a fan of the book or series title. Empire of the Vampire is an awkward name for a book or series; I would've preferred Vampire's Empire or The Silversaint Chronicles. But hey, that's just me. I am not the writer of this tale. I am, however, the writer of this review, and I shall begin it now.

Well, if you don't like adult themes such as the following, this may not be the one for you: sexual situations, cursing (although if you were one who doesn't appreciate those so-called foul words, I don't think you'd have even made it this far through my review 😂), like LIT-ER-ALLY— LOADS & LOADS & LOADS & then some, of cursing/ foul language (I love it! Haha), graphic depictions of violence/ torture-ish(?), ideations of suicide on maybe one or two occasions, depictions of drug & alcohol addiction & withdrawal, death, lots & lots of death (don't want to say of who or what as to not spoil any of the story)... gah & if there is anything else that I remember later, i'll be sure to add it! Las ilustraciones que acompañan al libro le dan otro toque acorde. Hace de su lectura algo más completo. While everyone sees Gabriel as a hero, this notion seems to annoy him. He knows that he is good at slaying vampires, but he has no illusion about his character’s worth: he is far from being a hero in shining armor, ready to sweep in to save a damsel in distress. He laughs out loud when people call him a hero and does not hesitate to set the records right and let them know that he’s no hero at all. He is ruthless, brutal, and cold (and drunk sometimes), but more than that, he is a survivor. The fact that he is fierce has a magical sword that can communicate with him telepathically, has magical tattoos, and is a half-vampire hell-bent on eradicating the scum of the world also makes him all the more cool and badass.

Leído en inglés, será publicado por Nocturna el 19 de Septiembre, en unos días. Os animo estimadas amistades, encarecidamente, a leer esta joya. Le auguro muchísimo éxito, como ha tenido en su lengua natal.) The Middle- I liked the former half of the first half and the latter half of the second half. The middle was kinda meh only cause it was dragging a lot. I was bored. Empire of the Vampire is an infuriating novel. And yet, at the same time, it is also a brilliant and bloody epic post-apocalyptic fantasy and vampire story.In justice and hope, no hope there be, In mercy and bliss, no bliss for thee, In death and truth, no truth I see, Through blood and fire, now dance with me.” I received an advanced review copy of Empire of the Vampire in exchange for an honest review.

I’m not even going to get into the relationship he paints between a character we’re told is 14 and a woman we believe to be a grown ass adult. Is it better that we eventually find out their ages are actually 16 and 19? (still gross, btw) No, it does not matter, because he wrote it very specifically to make you think you were reading about a 14 year old touching a grown woman.

If my copy was a physical one, I’d have thrown it across the room, but it was on my Kindle and I need that. This is one of the most unsettling aspects of the book.

Finally, the overall style and story are just also not for me. For one thing, I personally can’t stand the “main character telling the reader the story” POV. I get that it’s trying to emulate Interview with the Vampire, but I really do not enjoy it. It doesn’t help that the person Gabriel is telling the story to interrupts ALL THE TIME to force him to give exposition. Obnoxious.
