Una correcta historia juvenil de vampiros que, si bien no consiguió emocionarme, sí me mantuvo leyendo hasta el final. Y seguramente lea también la segunda parte ya que lo deja en un punto que mantiene el interés.
La historia mezcla los vampiros con la corte (de Louis XVI pero en la actualidad ya que es un vampiro que se mantiene en el trono). La ambientación está bastante bien lograda pero los personajes pecan un poco de caricaturescos. Les falta desarrollo.
La protagonista es una campesina que clama venganza y que se infiltra en el mundo de la nobleza debido al asesinato de su familia pero que poco a poco va descubriendo verdades sobre Versalles que no conocía.
Con una competición entre los jóvenes nobles para formar parte de la guàrdia de élite del rey, el enamoramiento de rigor y los secretos, el libro se lee rápido pero tampoco es de los que perduran en la mente.

I started this book hoping for a decent plot, not too much romance and passable writing.

I got a revenge plot (later half gets good) with a heroine hell bent on doing just that no matter the cost and romance that fit the story.
The writing was good and pulled me right in.

The Vampires were very unsparkling and it got (rating approved) dark.

The forst two chapters are not that fine to read. They are just packed with stereotypes. After that the book reads very well

J'aime beaucoup l'idée de départ, j'aime bien les personnages moins que parfaits, qui prennent des décisions pas toujours bonnes et les retournements de situation. Comme toujours avec Dixen, c'est un page turner qui va à toute vitesse! Je lirai la suite.
