This just didn't keep my attention. I wasn't really invested in our heroes and the mystery of the ancient ones and the master felt bland. Not sure of I will continue this one...

I don’t know why everything has to have the most perfect writing.

I thought this was fun and I ate it up. I loved The Strain though…hopefully the third book is just as fun.

Comentar este libro sin caer en spoiler se me ha hecho bastante difícil, sobre todo si aun no has leído el libro anterior Nocturna, pues, esta es la segunda entrega de la trilogía de la oscuridad. Aunque con el Extracto del diario de Ephraim Goodweather que podemos leer al principio de este libro, si que nos ponemos al día con la historia, la guerra en la ciudad de Manhattan entre un grupo de sobrevivieres y la plaga de vampiros (medio muertos vivientes) que se cierne sobre ella.

Esta segunda parte cuenta con aun mas acción, la sangre blanquecina de los strigoi es derramada con violencia y se revelan varios misterios planteados en la novela anterior. Se unen a la guerra los vampiros del viejo mundo, obligando a Eph y su grupo a pactar una unión delicada en pos de la supervivencia de la raza humana.

This is book #2 of The Strain trilogy, and much like the first book, the authors take the readers on a wild ride hunting vampires both above ground and below. This book is set about 4 days after the start of the first book and has Eph, Nora, Gus, and Setrakian tracking down a mysterious silvery book. There are a few new characters here as well. There is also a not fully adequately resolved plot. Put another way: there are not enough pages in this book.
