A very fun and quick read, which gives the reader a glimpse of a wondrous universe where vampires have used their unnaturally long life-spans to gather all the power in their own hands.
Features a different kind of trolls, wacky characters and a vein of humour very reminiscent of Terry Pratchett (unfortunately up to the point where some jokes are built on the model of some of PTerry's ones).
My greatest perplexity with this book is if it was the right point at which to begin the series, but we shall see after reading more.
