The premise behind this story is really neat, especially with respect to who rules the Supes.  It takes the idea of the supernatural races not getting along and gives it a big shake.  I¡m absolutely loving the development of vampires in this novel.  You see where they human myths come from but you also see the realism in the differences.  The dragons in this novel are also quite unique.  She also integrates the notion of cultural intermingling to great effect, drawing reality into fantasy.Cooper has an amazing way with words and storytelling.  The world that she creates is so flawlessly realistic that you cannot help but want to visit it or to live there.  She also changes perspective from character to character showing the differences between individuals and species or subspecies.  It never once disrupts the progression of the story nor does it ever confuse the story.  I don¡t remember ever having seen an author use this technique to such amazing ends.The main characters in this novel were very engaging.  You want to know them, even if they are a little hard-headed at times.  While journeying with these characters you find yourself questioning people¡s motives and actions, wondering which side they¡re really on or who they really are.  It adds to the mystery of the story, acting to draw you further and further into this world.  One thing about the characters though...  I definitely wouldn¡t want to experience their version of puberty.  Oh man.As a cohesive unit, this novel has it all.  There¡s lots of intrigue interspersed with a budding romance.  Characters that you want to journey with.  Absolutely amazing scenery.  However, I must say that I definitely needed a chocolate fix by the end.
