I'll read anything with vampires. Anything, but that doesn't mean it's any good. So when I have the pleasure of reading a novel as complex and richly mapped as this one, it is double the pleasure and three times the fun. Florian Ribeni is a newly created "runner" and is in training when we first meet him. He's being shown the ropes, and we the reader are taken along on his spectacular journey of lusty, indulgent escapades. As if a society of vampires wasn't enough, There are elves, mages, demons and gargoyles, each with their own set of complicated politics and social conventions. In the end, torn between love and duty, which would claim him?
