Excellent review! That cover still kills me, I just can't with it. Lothaire is so much one of Cole's babies that he clearly got special treatment. You know, someone asked her if she could pick a character to be stuck on a deserted island with and she picked Lothaire. I'm sorry, I enjoy him as an antagonist and all, but I'm not sitting on an island alone with the guy. I have characters of my own I wouldn't want to be stuck on an island with.
I enjoyed that Ellie stuck to her guns so strongly. When you make a character like that, it gets awkward when they get watered down. You just knew Lothaire wasn't going to for as long as he could manage.
Oh, you know what else I liked? I liked that she confirmed and opened that door for vampires at least taking homosexual lovers. I'm not surprised that it's the case and now the canon, I'm surprised she went there. Not that I have oodles of experience here, but she's always read as someone who wouldn't touch on that. Don't get me wrong, I still feel like she won't dive in, but that was still a little something. That's my thinking on this matter with her at least.
I will be truly disappointed if she doesn't come out with Lanthe/Thronos next. Hit my keyboard, scare my cat disappointed. And I would love it if she could shorten the Dacian novel name, seriously. Just call it The Dacian Series or Realm of Blood and Mist if she wants to be so fancy. Both is too much. I think it's going to be one of the guys that already found his bride from that title, but that's just my guess. You know it won't start with the girl since they just don't know what to do with her.
