The story of the blood vivicanti is immensely enticing.  Added to the vampire fascination is the dimension of the memories that are also swallowed with the blood.  In turn the blood vivicanti do not kill, rather their venom heals the donor and imparts great pleasure.  Now we have the added fascinations of the red man, the housekeeper, and the creation story.  The huge storehouse of human knowledge that is available to these creatures is deeply alluring, although I find that I am less than enthused with the choice of Star Wars as a religious template.  Of course they are pornographically wealthy with details of furnishings and clothing and food to fill any voyeur.Personally however, I am getting cranky with these fantasy uber humans always choosing young, slim, beautiful humans.  If this venom is so transformative, couldn't also change a a less perfect human.  I do not know, maybe a 60ish, bookworm, un-svelte woman use a little rebirth in creation?  If that example doesn't draw a target readership, couldn't a 40'ish, failed ballerina with love handles fit the bill?  Could we have just one story of the genetically less gifted rising on the like a phoenix?  Rant is over.I do find the story very entertaining and I am looking forward to the next installment.  I am hooked.
