It's a very pretty story. The language flows, and I like the way it's all paced...for a page or two, then all the short sentences and line-breaks become exhausting.All that said, and the content is rather hard to follow. I read a lot of books and I've learned you never blame the reader if they can't figure out exactly what's going on, since that's the author's job. Instead of expanding the narrative, it's way too close to a stream of consciousness. It took me 80 locations to get a hypothesis about whose head I was in, and even their gender, until I figured out it was finger-banging and not vampire hermaphrodites.The fact that this is a sneak peek explains why it reads like a random excerpt.I don't know. If you're a fan of the genre, give it a look.
