This is an okay, albeit somewhat long, continuation of the vampire chronicles. However, it has passages that are so sexist that it becomes difficult to continue. I'm not sure what's worse; reading the dialog of this character or having their views go unchallenged. Also has racist undertones.

4.5

Quite a few plot threads here but they managed to come together as a worthwhile sum of so many components. The little insights into all the characters lives were a delight and made it a stronger work for their additions.
