You're right though, the books are long. I hope you like the rest of the trilogy when you get to it. I think the vampire story is just different enough to keep it fresh, even for those who are starting to tire of vampires. The witch aspect helps though. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-49150040048731850192014-10-14T10:21:25.530-07:002014-10-14T10:21:25.530-07:00Tracy - I've enjoyed each of the books, especi...Tracy - I've enjoyed each of the books, especially the world building.

Lately though, I have been craving some high quality supernatural stuff. Not YA romances but something more intricate with a well-built world.
