Review: Working too Hard to Build a World
Rating: 3 out of 5

I just wasn't captured by this variation on the vampire mythology and found myself pushing hard just to read faster. I think there might be a really good story here, but it's weighed down with too much "world building" and investment in future chapters in a saga. Although some of the characters were interesting, the others were plot devices and there were too many opportunities missed — like in the vampire museum visit early in the book — to show instead of tell. I'm unlikely to follow to the next book.
