3.25 Much more darker than the Saga of Darren Shan. The beginning was great up, up until Larten meets Seba.
I'm not saying that this book was bad by any means, but it did feel rushed. I guess I kept wanting more pages to fill in the gaps. The jumps in time felt abrupt.
Anyway, I love Darren's writing. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
